    Ticking sound, right front

    Are these engines known for having a ticking sound? Does not sound like valves tapping, does not vary greatly with rpm. Could it be a fuel injector? any suggestions?

    Yep. All kinds of tapping/ticking sounds. Generally, most of the ticking/tapping goes away once it’s warmed up. Colder weather accentuates the sound.

    Get on your bike and ride Mister.

    Yep, if you have stock exhaust it is possible to hear the electronically controlled fuel injectors click/tick at idle on the Honda flat 6 engine.
