Motul Engine Clean usage and effects to my Drifter idle motor running:

First video is before Motul usage and second video after Motul usage.

Chief, how this liquid effect to your bike and how long? Do you left this in your bike with oil and drive or takeoff and put a new oil without them?
You put it in the bike just prior to oil change. Run the bike 15 minutes, drain old oil and do your oil change. Instructions are on the can.
Ok, but do I need to make this operations how often and more times than one.
How this effect to your bike and how long before ticking noise is again.
First, the "ticking" sound may be your cold idle solenoid or some other unrelated situation. How many times you have to use the product and how long it will help, depends upon your bike. Try it a couple of times and see what happens.

Ok, Yes you are right, when engine is cold that sound is more stronger. If it idle solenoid, is there any instructions how this can be fix or change?
Not that I know of. If you have changed the air box, the noise is louder. Some riders remove the solenoid because of the noise, but that creates a cold idle problem.
NOTE: There is a mod for fixing the cold idle problem if you have removed the solenoid.

Ok, maybe I leave it alone, it's better opinion. I don't want to mess bike idle what is now perfect condition.

Yeah, that would my opinion as well. I left mine intact.
