(sorry posted it by accident in other forum)
I've spent the last couple days reading about the "tick".
I still have a couple questions.
Is the tick prevalent through out the RPM range?
Is it prevalent when the engine is hot or cold or both?
My '05 has developed a tick. When the engine is cold and you start it, it ticks until the engine warms up. The tick then reemerges around 2500-2900 RPM then goes away.
23k on the clock, just changed oil, coolant, and added pwr comdr with Wally's Smoothness map on it.
Do I have a ticker or is it some other problem?
The bike runs fine and I'm about to take it on a 5000+ mile trip next week. If it is a ticker, any harm in going on the trip?
