    clicking between 3 and 4K

    Recently my bike has started clicking between 3 and 4000 RPM. It seems to be coming from the front right of the bike. Recently did a bit of maintenance and fitted a stebel horn, checked the plugs and had the tank, etc, off to get at the air filter. Also recently replaced front hoses with braided items and had a quick poke of the front brakes whilst I was down there. The valves need doing and it's nearly the sound they make, just louder and only over a specific rev range, rather than what I'm used to valves sounding like.

    Everything seems tight and correctly on and the bike is running fine. Any idea's?

    Check the plug cap. it could be loose and arcing out at a specific range.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Could it be leaking compression from an untightened plug?

    Can you hear the clicking between three-thousand and four-thousand rpm when the machine is stationary - or only when on the move?

    It was both stationary and moving. Popped both HT leads off, put them back on and the noise has gone.

    Thanks

    Looks like Stumpy was right.
