has anyone ever heard a ticking sound coming from the engine? it sounds like a piece of loose plastic that is vibrating against something. i have this sort of sound coming form my bike when i am going about 30-40 mph. anything under it doesn't make the noise. as i go faster, the ticking sound gets faster. when i get to about 60-70mph, i still hear it but it's faint. plus the wind noise + engine noise + exhaust all sort of overpower the high frequency ticking noise.

i hear this same noise whether i have the street plastics on, track plastics, or no plastics as at. i've ridden the bike with jsut the headlight and no plastics and i still hear the noise. it doesn't make the noise when it's idling so i haven't been able to locate the source of this noise.

besides this mildly annoying noise, the bike runs perfectly. does anyone have any ideas what it might be or where i should focus on to get rid of this noise? or things i can do to figure out the source of this noise?
