Hi Kingkong. Many owners on here have run up thousands and thousands of trouble free miles on their CB's. I have listened to the YouTube clip. The bikes do tick a lot with the fuel injection, but you soon adjust your ears to it and don't hear it anymore, if you know what I mean. Like the clock in your kitchen ticking away, you don't hear it until you do. There is a useful thread on here about checking valve clearances, broadly speaking the bikes seem to hardly ever need anything re-shimming after mega miles so I wouldn't be too concerned if it runs sweet otherwise. Personally I would advise against meddling with harmonic balancers etc unless you know exactly what you are doing. You could **** something up that way. The bikes do need to be fully warmed up before trying to diagnose anything. See what others on here have to say.
