Just back from the first tour on the CT and i thought i could hear drivetrain noise that wasn't there before. Popped it onto the main stand to have a better listen :

Sounds like it's coming from the engine side of the swingarm. Someone please tell me this is normal

That noise is plain wrong. It sounds like there is no oil in final drive. I ignore the oem oil spec and run fully synthetic Castrol Syntrax 80/140. It's as quiet as a mouse. I've been using ot for 50,000km. no difference in fuel consumption so there is no additional frictional drag - probably as fully synthetic oils have much less drag at higher viscosities than mineral oils.
