Yeah, those were my thoughts also. Or, perhaps, a thin metal in the header? I think it goes away after riding around. I've never checked to see if it recurs after the bike has been ridden and is just sitting, idling (assuming, of course, no stall).

Wait a minute! Maybe the stalling is a "feature!" The stalling automatically cools the header!

Isn't that what software programmers say about "bugs" (that ain't no bug, it's a feature!)
