[QUOTE="Nateskate, post: 589661, member: 18050"] It's not a ping or spark knock. It will do it in first, second or third. It's always from off throttle to moderate/hard accel. It will do it from a stop or while rounding a turn. If you are paying attention, you can feel it as well a hear it. I'm shocked more owners have not chimed in since I experienced it on multiple FJR's. My guess is that it is slack in the cam chain. If I keep the rpms up I won't hear it. Once it's done it, if I continue to accelerate, I won't hear it again. What are the symptoms of a worn or defective cam chain tensioner? Thanks [/QUOTE]
