Engine Burping

[MyOwnRocket]

05 FJR abs; purchased in Sept 05 with 1,900 miles; now has 12,400 miles. At start up / warm up I can clearly hear something missing, not every time the bike is started but definitely now and then. It is almost like a burping noise from the motor; when doing a tbs a while back it was very noticeable when the vac hoses were off and the motion pro tool was in the process of being attached or was attached. Should I schedule a sooner rather than later valve guide check? Should I be worried?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I find myself listening for the dreaded tick occasionally. My 05 has nearly 20,000 miles and runs with as little noise as my new 06.

Still I listen and I listen.

No burps, farts, hiccups, sneezes, or coughs before my ticking developed. Have you replaced the plugs?

My '05 had some acid reflux a while back... but I figured out it was just some bad Mexican gas that got into the tank...

Took the plugs out, inspected and cleaned, they looked fine. I get paid this week so I will buy new this weekend (all my other $$ goes to gas, oil and filters )

But, that mexican hooker sure made up for it.
