Need Help. I have a ticking issue coming from the left side of the bike. Its constant now and you can really hear it at like 2,000 rpms. My bike fell over in the dirt the other day while I was inside and it stayed like that for 20 or 30 minutes, Afterwards, I had trouble starting it because the oil got into the upper chamber in one of the cylinders and when it started it smoked for like 15 minutes. When I tried to start it, the starter turned over once then stopped followed by a clunk sound in the front of the bike. After a few times it turned over normally. The next day I went for an 80 mile ride and everything seemed fine but Now I can hear this ticking all the time, not just when the bike is running hot but also when its cold..???Is it possible that I messed up valves in the cylinder where the tick seems to be coming from??? The tick is coming from the cylinder that was closest to the ground when the bike had been on its side. I know some occasional ticking is normal but I got a gut feeling somthing ain't right. It almost resembles the sound of an exhaust leak. COuld this do more damage if I continue to ride it like this?? The power feels normal but this ticking has got me really concerned. There shouldn't be any reason for a valve adjustment with so little miles on the bike unless I F#$Ked something up. THe bike only has around 2800 miles on it> Any thoughts?? PLEase Help . THanks
