[QUOTE="wallypiper, post: 135739, member: 2685"] Thanks for all the feedback. You're right, of course, about dropping a valve while not running. I have gone back over everything I touched while doing the TBS. You don't have to touch much to do that but its obviously a suspect. I'm going to take it to a pro at this point. I've done lash checks on my other two bikes (VFR, SV) but that's about as far into the inside of an engine as I want to go and just pulling the valve cover on the FJR looks like a major undertaking. Hopefully it is something minor and any damage is limited to whatever specific part broke. If they find something minor, like a broken plug, that'd be great. Even if I found that I'm not equipped, at least in terms of experience, to get the debris out of the cylinder and make sure its all put back together right. Re: skyway's suggestion. First, she cranks OK. No problem. Just makes this horrid noise once she's running. I don't want to make it worse by trying to rev it away. If it was just rough idle/hard start/stumble sort of thing, I'd go for that but this is something inside. Hopefully something minor. As for just letting it warm up, well, yeah, IMHO the noise is too bad for that. Like I said, it could be something pretty minor at this point but getting worse every time it makes the noise. [/QUOTE]
