[QUOTE="yamaholic, post: 334434, member: 328"] Congrats on the new bike!! The jingling is pretty common. Mine has done this since 2002!! The consensus seems to be the fork springs are rubbing against the fork tubes. I would not worry about it...however just to be safe...check the bolts on the front end anyway. Maybe something is loose, such as the calipers. I would vote YES on the oil change right away. Then don't worry about it until 600-800 miles. Also, order the rear diff bottom drain plug from the dealer and install this as your engine oil drain plug. It has a strong magnet built in to catch all the gunk. I use this AND the Scotts' oil filter which has an internal magnet. They both are always covered in metallic funk at oil changes. Again congrats and welcome! [/QUOTE]
