Ticking

[WinsomeThrone49]

I've got a ticking on right side of my rocket 3 r, connected to throttle. Ticks at idle and gets faster with throttle input. Any insight? Under 600 mile breakin period.

Its muted....could it be a exhaust leak?

It shouldn't be muted check the video and phone settings

No, the sound is loud enough to hear......I meant that the ticking was of a quieter variety....more like an exhaust leak rather than a sharp metalic sound such as a super loose valve train adjustment.

Is an exhaust leak bad?

Will eventually cause burning of the valves....Just pop on by the dealer to have them check if there is exhaust leakage....should only take a few moments.....otherwise wait till 500 mile oil service and have it all checked during first service.
