Slight ticking noise right befor it warms up. 2010 Honda vfr1200

Just would like to know if that slight ticking noise is normal right before it warms up. Noise does not change if you rev it up. Is that the exhaust valve in the muffler ect. Just would like to know if this is normal.

Right after we bring you back to the psych ward you escaped from.

SOW

 

Just joined this site, most are nice a few are A-HOLES.

 

You shouldn't talk about SOW like that. Wait, who am I kidding? Yes you should!!!!

 

He'll learn.....

 

Is the noise there immediately at start up or does it start a few moments after starting?

 

Possibly a leaking exhaust gasket that ticks when cold but expands and seals as it warms

 

I take it to mean the frequency of the "ticking" does not change (remains constant) with rpm?

Can you locate the general vicinity of the ticking?

Disappears after warm up?

 

Hey I was just joking-

 

Sorry Honda1 that your thread was highjacked by the villsge idiot, simple question that should have had the courtesy of reasonable answer.
