I am out running errands around town yesterday morning, involving hangin out at Moto shops, the music and video store, book store, you know fun errands(!) (Check out Motorcycle Diaries, great book and movie), anywho;
A few times as I was taking off from the stop light, I thought the rods(?) were going to rip right through the casings! I am not much of a wrench but you know how your just tooling around and everything is fine? Well thts how it was and all of a sudden the normal engine sound became really pronounced, just for 10 - 15 seconds, sounded like there was no oil in the machine or something.
It only happened a few times. Bought the '07 in June and have 7k on it...
Any ideas or what to look for?

It's really funny that, I had a similar experience with mine just after I bought it, infact I stopped at the side of the road and switched it off to have a look round to make sure I was not loosing oil. Started it backup and never had that experience since..

Really weird sound though..

That's one of those "have to be there" kinda things. I'd get it to a shop to have it checked out.. might be something.. might be nothing but let an experienced tech give it a listen.
