Default Top-End Engine Noise

When I got home from work this morning, I noticed what Im calling 'top-end' engine noise....not loud but a noticeable ticking noise. I seem to notice more engine shaking too. I thought I'd isolated it to the shifter shaking....it's TIGHT, as is the spacer where the heel shifter would be.

Bike's running FINE, oil is good...doesnt smell contaminated...maybe 2500 miles on the change. Bike has almost 11,000 miles....AMSOIL in the crank and primary. I havent had a 10,000 mile service as yet.

Any ideas? Maybe some 10,000 mile adjustments that need to be made?

Appreciate your time.

More than likely it needs a little tweek certainly would not worry about.The tick could mean a pushrod adjust,will not hurt a thing runnning like it is.
