Ok but is it normal then? The sound is not very loud and I haven't verified this behaviour on any other FJR. Maybe it’s completely normal and I’m way too sensitive to “strange” sounds... :unsure: Is there anyone else who has this behaviour? /Per

Ever since the beginning of my ownership of my 06 I’ve had this little rougher sound from the engine at 1600 RPM and below. It’s not present at higher RPM’s. The transition from sound to no sound when going from low to higher RPM’s is very distinct, at 1500 RPM it’s present and at 1650 RPM it’s...

My 06 is also a bit clunky going into 1st gear but if I keep the clutch lever pulled for about 10 seconds it’s much better.
