Default noises..

Hello, I'm hoping to gain some insight in a sound I started hearing on my 2006 night train. It's a faint ticking noise that starts getting louder as the bike warms up. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to narrow it down a little. Right side, left side? I would check primary and make sure it's not chain slap or compensator sprocket nut.
