Default 107 M8 clicking noise

So my 2018 RG has a clicking noise. Its a 107 with s&s quicky pushrods and s&s 475 cam lifters are stock. So the clicking noise started today I'm almost positive it's the lifters or the pushrods, oils fine and I have been riding it pretty regularly. It did sit for over a year while I was incarcerated tho. So I plan on draining all oil and pulling the cam cover off and pulling pushrods and lifters. I'm not new to this but my knowledge is limited. I've never gone this deep before so any advice would be great.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.

Welcome Jacob.

Hope you continue to enjoy your ride here with us on the HDFORUM.

Only as a suggestion, but very important, create a signature line similar to mine on your bike with the year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

You can also add a favorite picture to the signature line.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question or to someone asking a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.

You can also add a favorite picture for an Aviator postage stamp you see at the top left of your post.

As for questions, use drop down menu and post that in the engine tech area .

Probably the lifters,I had early failure on my 2019 and had them replaced under my extended warranty last year at 28,000 miles.
Bone stock 107,only mods are a set of stock take off CVO mufflers and a K&N air filter in the stock case.
