Sounds kinda normal to me, however it sounds like you may have an intermittent tick sound caused by an exhaust gasket at the head. Did you re-use the gaskets when you put the Silvertails on?

Mine's been noisy since I've owned it, learned to live with it.

How many years your bike make this HLA noise?
Hear is another video when engine is warm. Ticking noise little disappear but not all.
Is it dangerous to my bike motor?

I had one HLA replaced when I had the dealer refresh the engine at 125,000 miles. So far, it's a lot quieter when it's cold, and damn near quiet when it's all warmed up...

It's most likely a hydraulic lash adjuster (HLA) which is normal until warm-up.

Yeah, I think so. It is then a normal procedure.  :)

so does mine.....after first having the 800 model which is very quiet, I was really concerned with the loud ticking that my 1500 makes at start up..especially when it has been sitting for a while.  But I've gotten used to it..and with the stereo blasting, I don't even notice it anymore... ;)

Mine ticks a lot worse than that, hot or cold - has since new.  One of these days I'm going to get in there  and find out why.

Hello

When the engine is cold, a slight ticking sound is heard in the background, is this normal:
