Engine noise
Last day in Florida my bike development a ticking noise. Made it back to home base. Oil pressure was still good and bike wasnt lacking power. I guess the bike got tired of 6th gear and 3200 rpm.
Was going to start pulling stuff apart next week but figured maybe someone will have heard a similar sound in the past?

Thx for any input or tips.
Bike is a 2010 with FM 107, 555 cams, jackpot 2 into 1 exhaust.

Small exhaust leaks can sound like a tick as well. If you use a folded rag to protect your hand, you can cover the exhaust with the bike idling, and if you have an exhaust leak you'll hear it straight away

Does it sound like the noise is coming from the top end?

Sounds like a loose fastener to me. Check exhaust. Also check air cleaner. Hopefully something simple.
