So im wondering if anyone has run into this ticking noise before.finished my stage 4 over the winter and have had this noise right from start only on the front cylinder up high.finally got sick of it with the money invested,took it apart today and there is 6 thousanths space between the rocker arm on the left exhaust valve with the rocker tight against the right exhaust valve. Wondering if hand filing 6 thousanths off the right rocker arm so they both contact at the same time?? Is that a good idea or something else??.ive read alot about ticking noises and yes turning up the radio is an option BUT,i would rather fix it with the amount of $$$$$ invested.
 
So the SE abjustable rocker arms are 2 weeks out,so i machined the original one and noise is gone.i will order the adjustable ones at some point and do them over the winter,just didnt want it apart in riding season for 2 weeks.thanks again hulkss for the info.
