Hi guys don't know if it's normal, my Audace (purchased last year dec) is emitting this tic tic sound around 3500rpm and on higher revs the tic sound is less obvious.
The mechanic tighten the plates but it seems its not working.
Anybody encounter the same problem as me? Can share the remedies. Currently I am sticking to riding at higher speeds...
 
I suggest you go over your bike checking for anything loose, that might resonate at 3500 rpm. The exhaust guards would be the first place I'd look.
 
Thanks guys!
Did a quick check on the exhaust. Could not find any loose parts on the exhaust.
Will ask the mech to check again as I sent the bike for service this weekend
 
Just to make sure, did you tighten up all the screws that are holding chrome exhaust plates? The first plates that are placed right next to floor pads are the ones that usually loosen up a bit, which then translates into rattling noise around 3000rpm

I would suggest that you take the heat shields off and inspect the welds on the nuts. I had a rattle that ended up tearing a small hole in the pipe because only one side of the nut was properly welded. Easy fix at a local shop but still should have been caught at the factory.
