clicking noise

[rzide]

So, after a great day of riding throughout the day i notice what seemed to be a clicking or ticking noise coming from around the engine. It was come and go and didn't happen under any certain circumstances. Obviously it was more noticeable when lugging the engine due to the decreased noise. It was very light but somewhat noticeable. My question is can it be possibly the power valve is loose making that noise? Thats the only thing I can think of. The bike only has around 10-15 hours.

Thanks.

my bike does it when you are on low revs or shutting the throttle off to de accelerate, i found its noise when i use old fuel or low octane (95ron) its less noticeable with high octane 98-99 stuff.
if thats anything to do with it i could not say, i personally think they are a bit chatty. but i feel your pain its like the piston want to leave the barrel lol

It's just the chain slapping on swingarm slider. No worry.
