[QUOTE="ruhltodd, post: 1160767, member: 87022"] Hey everyone, Brand new FJR owner here. I picked up an '04 FJR from a local dealer near me. I currently ride a Harley Street Glide and thought it would be fun to actually go fast and corner again [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] Anyways, what brings me here is I noticed during a ride yesterday that I'm hearing a noticable "ticking" sound around 2800-3200 RPMs. My initial thought was that something might be loose and causing the ticking noise (again being a Harley rider, you get accustomed to "ticks" being the norm). But when I did some research, I found that this might be caused by an exhaust valve guide... or something worse? I uploaded a video which shows the ticking noise. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same tick, and if so, what ended up being the problem? [MEDIA=youtube]Jnf-mOZ7hjY[/MEDIA] Ticking- 34 - 45 sec 1:17-1:50 2:00+ I apologize for the long video. Anyways, I have a 30 day warranty with the dealer and I'm thinking I should bring this to their attention. I just wanted to see what you guys thought first. I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this. Thanks! -Todd [/QUOTE]
