I just got my 02' R1 last night offf a friend of mine.. I hear this wierd little ticking sound in the very lower rpms right when going up.. at total span of about 500 rpms worth What the hell is that? I have never heard it on any other bike before? Does this bike have some damage I cant see?
I asked my friend about it that sold me the bike and he siad it is know as the famous R1 tick.. True?
