Lol, ok so this is how I discovered the infamous "ticking noise"
Going home from work,
I have the option to go on a nice climb up a hill.
I'll normally be in 4th going 45 mph on a straight
Then as the turn comes up to go up the hill, I let off the throttle to slow down,
Rpms will be around 2.5k and I begin rolling on it to get through the turn and get up to about 55 mph going up.
The noise I hear is simply a clicking noise and the engine sounds fine to me.
Slowing down, I'm not sure how fast I'm going just before the turn, but I definitely don't go under 2k rpms, I shift down just before then whenever I ride.
