Hi all I'm the new guy in town.
I have a 1999 V-Star 1100
My engine has a ticking noise in it when it is idling.
If I use the throttle to raise the RPM's the ticking disappears.
It does not tick at all under load.
The valves are properly adjusted and the timing chain tensioners are operating correctly. I have had the bike at 2 different bike shops and so far unable to advise me of the problem.
Outside of that the bike is running beautifully.
Has anyone experienced this in the past.
Thanks
Wayne
