I got an 02 f4i 14,800 miles on it, I don't know if I'm being just a worrie wort but my bike at idle has a slight tick not enough to be like damn shut the bike off but enough for me to notice if I strictly just listen to that and nothing else, seems to drowned out after 2k but goes up with the rpms. Most likely something normal like the sound of the injectors or the valves. This is my first f4i and I don't know if they are just ticky bikes from the factory

 

Probably needs the valves to be adjusted - most likely never done by the previous owner

 

Check the cctl and replace with APE manual cct.

 

i hear these bikes are a little ticky and thats normal. mine stll ticks even after i did the valve adjustment and replaced cctl. guess just how they are made.

 

Mine has that tick too, its very suddle and low. Think its just the fuel pump, and from what i've heard its normal.
