Default Trading in my almost new C50??
I purchased a C50T, the bike is just over 3 months old and I have just logged over 5000 miles. I picked this model for seat height, weight, comfort, etc. although I had never owned a cruiser, as I was always a sport bike/dirt bike kinda gal.

Anyway, my question/comment is this. I feel it is slightly underpowered for what I want. I am seriously looking at the Vulcan 900LT not to mention the hideous engine noise coming out of this bike. It started right after buying it and has only gotten worse. The Suzuki shop says no worries that it is normal but the slap/clanging is really worrisome to me. It is not a valve type noise but more of a piston/rod type slapping or clanging. Anyone else have any insight on this? I have seen in other forums where this might be an ongoing issue. I really want to make a trade or get this handled right away and any input would be appreciated.
