My A5 ticks a little when the valves are adjusted within spec as have most other OHC bikes I have owned over the years. You might want to check your valve clearances just for peace of mind. The other possibility is that you have a worn spark plug lead and you are hearing a spark jumping. That would be a very bad thing around the gas tank. Kurt Grife Avila Beach, Ca

First thing to try is the balancer chain adjustment. My guess is as soon as you loosen that bolt a tad, you'll hear a click as it adjusts itself. Snug the bolt back, replace the rubber plug, and start her up! Jeff

where on the rear shock is the rebound setting? is it the oneway setting under the black plastic clip on the bottom of the shock?
