Mines new with only 1600miles but its the second shaft drive bike iv had,they run quiet or should do,probably best go get the dealer to take a listen.

If it's anything like a car you're driveshaft being misaligned, i.e. not at the right angle due to wrong torque specs, could cause vibration and noise.

I found that mine was a little noisy when I first got it. This is my first bike with shaft drive too. I did find that after 6000ish kms that it was better. Once I went to Royal Purple it was even better.

I have an 08 with 40000 miles, normally you should not hear anything from the shaft. I am taking mine to the shop today as it started to make a noise from the front of the shaft where it attaches to the engine case. I definatley would not ride it untill you had it looked at, if it fails it could lock up your rear tire. Not fun.
