hi, i have a 2002 foxeye 6750 miles on clock and mines been doing the same since i bought it last year! you will find though? if you have your carbs balanced like i did to mine! it will improve no end! i can now have my idling set to 1000rpm and only slightly hear it. i used to run a fjr1300 and that was unbearable , more so after a long run when it was very hot!! i put a brand new clutch assem in that and it still did it!! if it dont slip and you get your gears ok? your clutch is fine!! just run it and enjoy!!!! cheers clive.
