My own sad experience with an LT may be an exception.....but looking on the owners forum one of the first things you see is a thread about engine rattles.....frankly its a horrible noise if you wear an open face hat.
Even when they assembled the motor correctly ( In my case they appear to have used a batch of incorrectly machined pistons and liners).
No doubt this has soured my experience somewhat but even my Beloved finds the LT hard to get on/ off and was relieved to hear me say I want to sell it.....once its back from its surgery.
Meantime, I'm enjoying my courtesy bike....a brand new Scrambler.....now just let me get the hacksaw to those exhausts.....
