Default 99 Katana 600 Ticking Noise after Valve Adjustment


Bought this bike last year and figured it was about time to adjust the valves and run through some routine maintenance now at 8000 miles. Anyway I made some minor valve adjustments, and now I have noticed that I have a ticking from the right side. It sounds minor but I do not recall if it was there last year. Sound to me to be valve train noise and although I know I adjusted everything to specs (I think I did) now with this ticking I have to second guess myself. Any input, I hate to pull the top again.
By the way it runs fine but I still need to do synch the carbs.
Thanks in Advance
