ok so when i first fire up my bike and its cold it makes this clicking noise it sounds like it is coming from the radiator area but i cant tell i checked the oil and its full so its not the lifters tickin and after about 2 minutes it will go away sometimes it wont do it at all and every now and then it will do it when im goin down the road and the higher my rpms the faster it clicks or ticks any ideas?

 

It might just beanut thats rattling, or depending on how many miles it could be the beginnings of a bad cctl

 

its coming up on 5500 miles but from what ive read about the cctl the sound it is making doesnt really resemble a cctl problem what does the beginning stages of the cctl sound like?

 

I have the same thing!!! what is this!!
I just replaced my CCTL! so its definitely not that!

 

Mine has been doing same thing. I've notice it stops when i pull in clutch handle and when clutch is out (in nuertral of course) I can here the ckicking. Gonna change oil and filter and see if that helps. Otherwise have to take in for service. Any ideas?

 

i think i figured mine out. I think its the exhaust by the head. sounds like maybe a gasket got loose and is bouncing back and forth and rattling. any insight?

 

check the horn make sure its not touching the radiator.
