how loud is the ticking? all bikes tick to some degree... fuel injectors and cam chain noise can both sound like ticking. it is possible you just never noticed it before. try see if you can pinpoint where the sound is coming from with a screwdriver. in time you will learn to love the ticking!

Probably just the valves ticking and needs a valve adjustment.
When was the last time they were adjusted? If they even ever were adjusted?

I had the same problem with mine. I put a Hartz 2 in 1 flea and tick collar on mine and it got rid of the ticks.

Your sentence-forming and particular writing is superb, in spite of the undeniable fact which you're actually unable to easily forget approximately approximately grammar (you're spelling isn't too risky). additionally, in case you ever wish to get launched, i don't understand if a narrative approximately suicidal women and adult males human beings and hardcore drug addicts will sell or maybe get printed. now not many human beings would desire to study human beings abusing themselves to this quantity interior the 1st actual financial disaster.

Preignition from a crappy tankful of low octane gas. Make your next tank "premium" instead of "regular."
Edit: I'm a top contributor in biology. You should probably do what the "motorcycle" category top contributors are telling you.

Sounds like valves out of adjustment. Also check your oil level to be sure you are getting proper lubrication.
