ok is there suppost to be a small like not really noticable tic coming from the front of the motor it could be that bolt i broke in the header but it dont sound like a exhauste leak sounds like more of a internal tic....

 

I would have to say no, I don't believe Honda engineered a tick in the engine.lol It doesn't sound to me like a broken header bolt would make a tick, it may be your vavles, they have been known to make a ticking sound from time to time.

 

These are engines with moving parts....they're going to make noise. There is no such thing as a quiet engine.

 

It's true what Abad says - however if you're not satisfied with that answer...

You could pull the fairings off and get close to the running engine and try to pinpoint it. If you can, tell us where it's coming from, what side of the bike and if it makes the sound louder or quiter when the engine is revved.

Good luck - may be nothing - may be something. However they will make noises.

 

well it dont get louder as the engine revs it stays the same loudness just gets faster with the revs sounds like a car with a top end valve tic but my uncle who sold it to me will be here this week and i will let him listen to see if he remembers a tic when he had it new

 

how many miles are on it?

 

My gues is valave lash...when was the last time they were checked and or adjusted? I would check the gaps just to be sure...

its only got 7k on it

 

Sounds to me like valves, probably nothing wrong, may need an adjustment. Is it a faint noise, or is it really noticable? If you have to listen closely to hear it, then thats normal.

 

i really have to listen for it but i noticed some times it misses a beat like its not like a steady thing some times it will miss a beat you know what im trying to say its hard to explane
