Hi all,
New to the forum, so howdy to all.
Took the bike out for a run the other night and noticed a strange "ticking" noise when I open up the throttle. I've checked oil, all well there, chain tension is fine as well (thought it could be the chain knocking).
Are there any common causes for this, noise seems to be coming from top end of engine and only rears it's head when I start to open her up... Around town low rev's seems fine.
I'll be looking at her a little closer later when I finish work, but thought I would post a quick one to check if it's something common.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Probably CCT. Yes, warranty covers it although if they replace it with a stock one, expect it to be back in 3-4K.
If it's under warranty have the dealer check it.

Certainly a possibility.
Depending on the mileage of your bike, I'd put my money on the CCT being the problem. I noticed the same thing on my bike after 5k miles and it only makes noise from 4.8k-5.2k rpms.
Use the search feature to find more threads on the CCT/engine rattle issue. LOTS OF READING HERE ABOUT THAT.
