You are on the ball there...I did lower the idling and have been adjusting to that sound. However, the ticking did not manifest after I lowered the idling. I also did go back and read a previous thread on the ticking and Easy Rider said his had a tick that sounded worse when hot, but it worked itself out. I noticed the tick comes only when the bike is really warmed up, so I think I will wait this one out a bit, and see what happens. Certainly I don't think I will be too adventurous with a valve adjustment (I had enough fun just messing with the idle and lubing my chain this month) so if it gets worse I will take a trip out to my dealer.
