Re:Road Star Midnight engine problem 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Sounds like normal. These engines can make all kinds of noises. Probably just a little lifter tapping. You can try a different oil, some oils help to quiet the engine more than others. Myself, I've been using Mobil 1 automotive full synthetic 20/50w for the past 100k+ miles. Yes, I ride a lot. lol That mileage is in 4.5yrs on the Roadie.
This Yamaha Tech bulletin will give ya some insight to the noises this engine can and will make. http://forums.delphiforums.com/1602/messages?msg=139164.1 hope this helps.
