What is this ticking noise?
2023 Rebel 300 with 8k miles. Can’t figure out what this noise is. Nothing I can find on the internet that narrows it down specifically. A mechanics stethoscope was used and the noise is louder on the top of the engine than the bottom. Valve clearance was measured and it’s within spec. Next thing is a full tear down but I’m not sure where to start once it’s apart.
Fresh oil change and just replaced a leaking exhaust gasket as well.
