I agree. I wish mine ticked before it bound up, I might have saved myself replacing the gear and cable and simply cleaned and repacked it.

Pull the axle and turn the bearings with your finger, it should feel smooth with no end play. Clean the caliper pistons by extending them and clean with a toothbrush and cleaner.

Then I noticed when rolling the bike while off it was clicking in the front wheel at the same spot. Inspected the brake system, no problems, So only thing else I can think of is the Front wheel bearing or a bent front axle. any ideas?

It starts out very slowly and speeds up as the bike speeds up until engine noise drowns it out. I thought the chain might have picked something up at first, so I watched the chain as the rear wheel rotated slowly, but saw nothing there. A friend suggested that it might be a binding speedo cable. It doesn't seem to be coming from there, but that should give a good idea as to the frequency of the ticking. It's definitely too slow to be the crank or rods, and especially the valve train. Is there anything in the transmission that could be turning that slowly? My next move is to pull the drive sprocket cover to see if anything is in there.
