Does anyone recognize or have some ideas as to what this knocking sound is? During initial startup I get the usual tensioner knock but it goes away after bout 30 sec. Then this knock reappears after about a minute of running. In the video it reappears at about 26sec in and pretty much continues until the engine is hot, operating temp hot. After 16,000 mi this is a new sound. Dealer says its normal...Just normal Victory engine sounds, but no idea where it comes from...

Maybe this is obvious but have you checked the oil level? That's the same sound I get I think if I start it on the side stand. If it's upright I don't get it at all.
