[QUOTE="Mr. Long, post: 1302886, member: 89239"] Sorry for disappearing! Wife and I did a quick getaway weekend to West Palm Beach on the bikes, including our first RTE in Sebring with other FJR owners. I hadn't had a chance to jump back in here. Thanks to a forum member for the IM to remind me. hehe So the bike is running better, but I still have concerns. Taking everyone's suggestions into account, I did the following last Friday afternoon... Pulled the iridiums and put the stock (cleaned) plugs back in (in the same order as they were removed). Verified that the plug wires were on nice and tight, the AIS caps were tight, four vacuum nipples were installed, and air box was capped. (didn't adjust the idle, yet) Started the bike. No change from before. Here's a short video clip. The ticking (sounds like a metallic squeak almost to me) is audible right at the beginning. It's hard to isolate the sound when filming with my phone, but the ticking is very audible (at least to me) from the header, where it meets at the collector. I can also hear it very well over the idle when standing away from the bike. [MEDIA=youtube]zUoCJSnf0lY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
