2007 Yamaha 225 HPDI ticking at idle

Should I be worried? As soon as I start to accelerate it goes away. The motor is not violently shaking but there is also a small shake. It doesn't lose rpms, and I just want to ensure this is kind of standard for this engine. Thanks for the input.

I clearly hear the ticking from the head of the motor. Prop is clean, but I'll take it off and reseat it. I'll make sure there is not any fishing line, etc.. in the lower housing. Thanks for the thought.

A 225 HPDI drops two cylinders at idle, so it shakes and rattles a little, Unless this sound or vibration is something that just started, I would not worry too much as long as it smooths out when you get it off idle.

Thanks Wayne. This is exactly what my thought process was, I just wanted someone else to say it!
