Well fellas, I dont think my problem is serious (if its even a problem), Sometimes when I start my bike it sounds like something is ticking in the engine. It only does it for a short bit but I honestly think its the starter not pulling out. It will sometimes do it for 2-3 seconds and sometimes not at all. Let me know what you guys think.

 

Its prabably your cam chain.
The hydraulic tensioner fills up with oil after 2-3 seconds, and the noise is gone :-)

thanks figured it was something along those lines.

 

I have the same problem but it's bad for a minute after I get the bike o hot and shut it down for only a few minutes. It's gotten to the point though that I can even still hear a slight tick at 3k rpms and figure the best thing is to change the tensioner as it's the cheapest and easiest.
