What's the ticking?

What's the ticking?
My son asked me to take him around the block this evening. So I backed the softy out of the garage and fired it up. I immediately heard a ticking sound coming from the front of the motor that I've never heard before. Sounded like an exhaust leak or a lifter tick. I let it idle for just a sec and we jumped on headed around the block. I got a couple streets over and it went away. I recently put new bassani pipes on so I thought maybe an exhaust leak even though I've not heard it to this point (new pipes have been on over a month).
I guess it concerned me a little because I've not heard it before and it was a pretty damn loud tick. And I've riding the bike to work probly 300 miles this week without hearing this noise.

The only thing that you've changed recently is the pipes.... that's where I would look.
If you suspect a lifter, try different oil. Spectro 25-60 dino oil is the best I've found when it comes to noise.
Good luck in the hunt
