Default The dreaded engine tick...

So i left my LEDs on for a little over 6 hours.I didnt have a meter on my battery,it turned over ,but it was a little slower this morning then it was last night.
Anyways
After firing it up she had the distinct tick ,it was coming from the left side.I conclude the stator was charging the battery causing an audible tick that went away after a few minutes of riding.
So if your ticking don't panic right away ,you may want to check the battery charge before you tear apart your guts....then panic.
