Hey guys, need help. I have a ticking(metal) sound coming from the engine. I have a 2011 with 2500 miles. Could it be my valves?

What rpm? More info

All I think. Can't hear it at higher rpm's due to exhaust, wind, etc. But the sound gets faster the higher the engine speed.

Maybe not your case but ,
exhaust leaks make Tic Tic Tic sounds .
Look if all bolts are there at exit of cylinder
where exhaust starts .
Every Time You Lift Your Tank Beware Of This .
Does it do it at idle? Light throttle? hot, cold?

Valves tighten as time goes on. If you opened up your intakes, its the injectors you hear ticking. Mine got real loud when I opened the air intake up.......
In an age of synthetic images and synthetic emotions, the chances of an accidental encounter with reality are remote indeed.
agreed it the natural sound of the motor. No worries buddy. i have a 2009 with the same sound, and others lol
