may not be a spark plug problem....ive had the same problem...start it up and it ticks and makes noises...it warms up and it goes away....turns out to be the cam chain tentioner.....may or not be it.....but it seems to be a minor flaw with honda when theydesigned the bike..might be the first place to look...

When was the last time that the valve clearances were checked (how many miles) ? The inspection interval is 16K miles.
