Well I talked to the service guy at the dealership and got an update on my bike. I was told that I have a broken ring on one of the pistons, but it appears that no significant damage was done to the cylinder or the piston itself. They are waiting on new rings to come. Also, I was told that the SE adjustable pushrods were not adjusted right. The mechanic says he thinks the combination of the two was the source of the noise. So I guess it could have been worse!

Maybe I'll have my bike bike back by friday. I am so ready to ride!!!!!!!
