Thanks for the quick replies!
The bike has 13,500 miles on it. The place I'm getting it from is a BMW dealer who took it on trade. He says it wasn't making this noise when they got it, which seems odd to me. I wouldn't think something could happen with it just sitting there. But apparently his service manager agrees that it's a concern.
edit: Called them back for more info. Apparently the Triumph service guys feel there is a problem. The dealer said it sounded like a metal-on-metal ping.
