Yeah seemed a little pessimistic to me as well (most of the shops seem to focus on harely/cruisers around here). I came to provide an update in case anyone else runs into this issue and comes across this. I got a valve sync done and it seems to have further improved things. I have not gotten to...

My 2005 make a similar noise. I am glad I am not the only one noticing it. Yamaha did say my bike was not eligible for the recall, so I am inclined to listen to the other forum member who say it is normal.

Thanks all for your help. I have managed to reduce the issue significantly by cleaning the wiring harness connectors, there was a very minor amount of corrosion, and running several tanks of fule with seafoam through it. The issue still exists to a lesser extent but given that these methods...

The last valve check was performed before I bought the bike so I am unsure. I just went out and listened to the bike some more and the Cam chain area seems to be quite loud and rattly sounding. Anyone have the new part number for the improved tensioner? Thanks everyone for your help!

I am feeling more and more that this is what it will end up being. I will look at the harness but if that does not fix it the cam is next. Is there a good instructional with lots of pics? All I could find was this: https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=130394&hl (and a bunch of...

Yeah I was messing with the idle the other day to see if it was bouncing off a lower limit. I set it high, 1,500-1,400 and it still did it. I think me messing with it is why it started out low in the video and I had to adjust it. Edit: if no one else recommends anything else by this weekend I...

Thanks, it runs well for the most part, esp. on the highway. Its definitely a little jerky around town, but coming off an R6 its still pretty smooth. Embarrassingly I am not certain when it started, though I think after I got the bike. I have moved three times since I got it so its been a while...

I didn't use seafoam but I did run fuel injector cleaner through it (can't remember brand).

I am a new member. I purchased my 2005 FJR last year from its second owner. It has 30,xxx miles. I have noticed to my annoyance that it does not idle very smoothly though, with the effect getting worse with the engine getting hotter. I had a throttle body sync done a little over 1,000 miles ago...
