Better safe than sorry I'd say. Little strange that your buddy says nothing is wrong thou. But if your gut feeling says something is wrong then better to have the dealer check it out. That way you'll be able to sleep better at night

Well hopefully it's nothing to be conserned about

A thought just hit me, could it be the chain?

Quick update. Dealership checked the bike and confirmed all is good. The ticking is most probably (my educated guess) part of the engine's natural sound, which I have to get used to

If you're ever able to, try and get some audio recorded of it. Getting quite curious to as what sound you're hearing..
Because I've can't say I've ever heard such a noise from a bike before.

But at least now the dealership has had a personal look on it, and if they say it's normal and everything is fine then ok.
So if the bike somehow should blow up now, you should stand pretty solid about the dealer making a mistake here :grin2:

If it is something mechanical with the engine then my bet would have to be the gearbox, since the sound isn't present when just reving the engine.
Could you give a description of the ticks? What do they sound like, metal on metal? Or softer? How fast does it tick? Is there a pattern/rhythm to the ticks? Does it ever change any pattern/rhythm? Is it consistent regardless of wich gear you are in?
Be as spesific as you can, the more details the better.
