I checked the oil level and it is fine. Oil pump? Would I hear that? I changed the chain and srockets but still seem to be getting the noise at hwy speed. Noise does not seem to be with engine rpm comes and goes at different revs. Black 04 sm freak AI removed TORs 152 jets

You can inspect them by removing the left side cover. Down low, under the clutch. Left side cover is not re-useable. I think they are plastic to reduce noise, don't know. Does your noise sound like top end?

I have looked all over and can not find it. it started after i got bike out for the year. I will go out and look at the connections now. Will let you know Black 04 sm freak AI removed TORs 152 jets
