Been riding this bike for about 2 years and its made a ticking sound the whole time, a motor guy heard it and thought it was a broken valve spring, but checked it out and springs are still intact.
I haven't verified which valve it is but when I take the cam shaft out, the exhaust lifter feels firm and stays in place. While the intake lifter drops down, touches the camshaft axle and can be moved up and down freely. I don't know if this play is normal and could be the source of the noise. I can verify today which lifter the sound is connected to.
Thanks
