    I've never noticed that sound. Mine has a high pitched ticking on the left side at idle. Sounds like an exhaust valve or something.

    Turn up the radio. If you break the sound barrier no problem.

    It is the alternator. This isn't a problem and it is the coupler driving the alternator making that sound if I remember correctly.

    The ticking sound is normal, it's your fuel injectors. NOT valves ticking.

    When I rode my the last time, up to the dealer to be inspected for lightning damage, it was as quiet as an electric motorcycle. I couldn't hear a darn tick, squeek, or growl out of the entire bike.

    fidz, I don't hear anything the way you describe it on mine, but as a suggestion why don't you record the sound with your phone or something similar if you're able at that speed, and play it back for the dealer/service dept. Maybe the dealer/service dept. has an explanation for it.

    Let us know the result.
