Two points.

First, while a long shot, it's lots simpler than chasing other causes of "ticking."

I pooh-poohed a friend's suggestion that a loose header flange caused ticking. He was right; I was stooopid. That was it. Might not be your issue, but worth a look.

Second, I am an untalented wrench who loves tinkering and, as a result, have a bin of "leftover" parts. ;)

That said, I think you were unnecessarily hard on kiwi dave's "just ride it" suggestion; there's lots to be said for riding instead of fiddling. I have 102K on my EV, so I have ridden it, but would have 200K on it (and more on the rest of my moto-harem) if I had ridden more and worried and wrenched less. These days -- especially at my age :cry: -- I try to save serious moto-work for a tropical depression settling in over the Moto Grappa for a few days.

Good luck finding the tick.

Would it be worth opening the old oil filter (if still available) to see if it contains further debris that may provide a clue to its origin?

Yes, it was clean! It was suggested to ride it for another 1k or so and then change the oil and filter again and check the pan and see if there are any more shavings or if it cleared up...
