I think the ticking means you need to ride it faster.

Suzuki gremlins like to bang around in the engine and make ticking sounds...they always have.

Yes, if you stand there and listen to the engine especially without your helmet, it makes all kinds of ticking, rattling, clicking noises. Back a few years ago, the noise with the clutch slack making a clacking noise when letting the clutch lever out caused many people to think that there was a problem. Matter of fact, I took my 09 busa to the dealer in Mississippi telling them and listening to the clutch noise and the mechanic said, gotta split the cases knowing it was normal. If it wouldn't have been for the ORG discussing it, I probably would have done it costing probably costing $2k. So, thank you Captain for this place.
I'm glad I didn't just blame these gremlins on the noise I heard or it would have cost me plenty....
But don't ignore 'cause it will cost you.
That's why there is warranty, when in doubt, check it out...
Well if it's a "watch" they hid it pretty good, because I can't find it anywhere and my bike is in 1000 pieces right now. Boy ain't that a bummer we got a wait till February for the jacket the plaque and the hump as my dealership wants to ship everything together.
Get the cluster in, wrap a couple pieces, rebuild the fairing and nose assemblies (quite a puzzle that nose), hook up the leds, install the hugger, and maybe I'll get her out of the garage for a dinner run to Socal with the lady.
So where the heck is the watch?. Anybody found one?.

My number is 234... and since l had my first service for free at dealership they put the stock suzuki oil in it, was gonna do it myself but was told that if I miss the first one the other 2 are voided so I felt for the money let them do it since it's a new bike. I've never owned a new motorcycle and was skeptical letting someone touch my bike but the guy that serviced my bike was there best mechanic of 20 years and drag races on the weekend and for the ticking it was there before he touched it, I just figured I'd wait till the break in period because it's only in 1st gear at 3k rpm then goes away. Talked with a few buddies that have the gen 2 busa and they have herd of the tick so I kept riding but I use the quickshifter alot so thought maybe that was the issue so being under warranty she's going back in a few days since I wanted that same tech to check her out will update soon hopefully they don't say...."what ticking sounds good to me".

I thought that's why it was making the sound lol I did it motoman style...
I don't think that had much to do with it. I've set valve tolerances at their tightest, middle, and far side, and they lose about .001" at the most unless there's extenuating circumstances.
I always run high load break in on these motors. As long as you don't run too high in the power ban RPMs, I'm sure you didn't do any damage.
The Suzuki gremlins just didn't want caught and evicted.
Don't worry, they'll be back making a racket soon enough.

Being safe is better than being sorry ,thank god I have hearing aids .
Find a pic of the busa engine cut open. There are so many moving parts. All these make noise. I would have today the busa engine is one of the noisiest engines there is except one, the BMW 1000rr. That bike is so noisy it's unreal. Hot as a foundry too!

AND......Honda has placed a nickle on it's edge, on the valve cover of a Running Goldwing...to prove how smooth it runs!
Meanwhile, Suzuki....lmao.
But, the Hondas have never been as agressive as Suzukis either...so that racket you hear is actually extra hp...
