[QUOTE="Silent, post: 1137591, member: 4841"] The bike ran "ok", just not "right" prior to starting this endeavor. I had the idle screw cranked to the hard stop and still only idling at 900. From my research, I went in to check the timing, and sure as snot, the exhaust cam was off by a tooth. The cams are properly timed now, and the bike is knocking like theres a rod bearing out. so I"m 90% positive theres a bent valve. I only ran it for about 2 seconds before shutting it off, so I hope there's nothing too major to repair. I've already started tearing the motor out of the FJR. I know there's something wrong internally with the motor. The heavy knocking sound when I fired up the bike tells me that. I'm getting flashbacks [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif[/IMG] [IMG]https://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/NAA_Silent/FJR/DSC_5207_zpsbabd4642.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/NAA_Silent/FJR/DSC_5206_zps62e7fe24.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
