[QUOTE="FJRZON, post: 59369, member: 379"] Well…let’s hope your right Orangevale. The verdict is still out. Remember, Yamaha first tried different valves which didn’t work and then tried different guides which also apparently did not arrest the problem either. Now they have “loosened” the seals for more lubrication to the guides. We really don’t know for sure until the ‘06 pilots accumulate some serious mileage. Chris, if you really want a "bulletproof" bike and the ticking does worry you then take a close look at a Busa ‘03 and up or any year XX. They make great sport tourers. If the FJR trips your trigger than get the X-warranty and enjoy. Great bike out-of-the-box. Also check at [URL="https://www.micapeak.com"]Micapeak[/URL] for info regarding the FJR. There is a gentleman who claims 107,000 miles on his '03 FJR. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
