Default Engine Tick VIDEO
Hey guys this tick just appeared within the past few days, only when the bike is fully warmed up is it audible. It changes with RPM but it doesn't seem to get louder just faster. Bike is a 99 Night Train with 6,600 miles on it, no internal engine work done. Sounds like it is coming from the rocker box.

If it sounds like a pissed off sewing machine then everything is good.

Thanks guys, didn't want to go nuts looking for things to be wrong if it was normal. Hasn't done it since I got it last year so just though it was odd.

Thanks for the compliment Tee&Vee
