Seems all Hondas I've ever owned came from the factory overfilled. I no longer worry about it, but will probably drain mine this weekend and refresh out of principal, but I wouldn't be afraid to run mine to the 600 mile service. I'm halfway there already. Drain some if it makes you feel better.
The ticking noise we have identified as injectors seems to be loudest when accelerating just after shifting into second gear, but it is there all the time, just loudest when under load, thats why many of us unfamiliar with injector noises thought it was pre detonation from too low of a grade of fuel.
If you think it might be something more ominous, I suggest you swing by the shop where you bought the bike and let them listen to it.
