So I took an evening ride last Thursday, and at some point I heard a sound that would be similar to sucking a leaf up/into an intake. It only lasted a few seconds, and caught me so off-guard that I don't remember it all too well. I pulled over and checked everything, but could not find the culprit. I continued on my ride, but the throttle seemed to be a bit 'off', i.e. not as sensitive or too sensitive. I figured it was all in my head, and chalked it up to paranoia.
Today I went for a lunchtime ride, and notice that the throttle still seems 'lacking'; quick blips of it do not seem to illicit quick blips of the engine. The engine seems almost like it's trying to catch up with the throttle; a 'lag' of sorts. There also seems to be a slight rattle that I can hear when in Neutral with my helmet off (no real way to hear it otherwise). After revving the throttle and letting off, it sounds like dry leaves banging around, and seems to be coming from the intake/exhaust. I can hear it on both sides, and am quite confused.
I'm planning on going for a 500mi round trip next weekend, but this has me a bit worried. Any ideas/information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.
