Help! Ticking noise on left side of engine driving me nuts. Came on after I did an oil change. Fresh oil and filter. 10w-40 Mobile synthetic 4T used. It gets louder as the engine heats up. Pretty prominent around 215*F. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bike has 24k for mileage

Hi, the only reason I can think of for the clicking to start after an oil change is that maybe one of the header pipes might have been loose, and in extracting the filter you could have moved it, if you have one of those incense sticks in the house light it and hold the stick toward each header set of bolts(with the engine running) and watch the smoke the stick gives off, if its blowing you will see the effect, as you can gather I'm an old hippie:wink
