Riding up the freeway yesterday i arrived into town at the lights and noticed a ticking noise, pulled into the servo to check oil which was full. I was along way from home so i had to ride it back but i noticed it only the made the sound while not moving in gear and not or deacceleration, but no noise while cruising or on the gas. Now i dont know much about strange noises on these but my first thought was about to blow up but after gettin back on it i was thinking maybe the clutch? Im going to rebuild rings and pistons over winter anyway,because of smoke under full load. Any help would be great. Cheers

No worries... It just means that you have a genuine yamaha! :) The tick is common NO WAIT! your bike is F'ed up. Completely worthless. I'll take it off your hands for $500 which is double what it will be worth. Im doing you a favor :)
