A real tic originates from the subconscious. You can look at it as a kind of bubble from the subconscious that demands your attention. If you can communicate with your subconscious in an appropriate way (‘autosuggestion’), then you have a good method to get rid of it.

On my 05 Nomad, it's kind of a whine. Don't worry bshwetz, it's normal and something you'll get used to in time.

I rode V-4 Hondas for years before getting my Nomad. I too had to get used to the different sounds that a V-Twin makes.

I thought I just heard Nico whine. Or was it the Nomad?
