Well took off the valve cover and the valves are perfect 0.05/0.04mm. I guess the valve ticks are here to stay.
Noticed the oil level was a bit high so I dumped out synthetic 10w50 and put in synthetic 10w40s. Didn't put the whole quart in but the oil level window is showing middle level between high and low. Oil came out with streak in it similar to the shipping/break-in oil. Those things probably need an oil flush when new. This engine is at 100km/60 miles.
Went out riding and the noise didn't come back. Maybe the engine got extremely hot yesterday, would be nice to have an engine temp gauge...
