Hello all,

Is my engine/valves ticking or is this some engine noise I’m not used to hearing? When I bought it the bike had 11767 miles I have put about ~200 miles on it so far. I took the bike on a thorough test ride and didn’t notice anything, but as I’ve ridden it more I think I hear a ticking that follows the RPMs, maybe it’s an exhaust leak, maybe I’m just paranoid, I have no clue.

For context on the engine condition I bought it from an older gentleman who had meticulous service records and took excellent care of the bike, he sadly got nerve damage in his legs and couldn’t ride it anymore so he sold it to me.

What would you do in my shoes? Thanks. 😁
