Ok guys need your expertise diagnosing a problem.

Bike has 15K on it. I'm sure it needs a valve job which will be happening soon.

Last night close to home I noticed it was ticking a bit on the loud side while I was sitting at a light.

Checked it out today and it makes a ticking noise only coming back down to idle after blipping the throttle. No more odd ticking at idle (minus normal noise).

So its like...Blip...normal rev and just about getting to idle its tick, tick, tick...sometimes 4 ticks, but every time I blip the throttle.

It seems to ride fine and it has valvetrain type noise when riding but nothing that i'd say is abnormal.

Going to check it out again now to try to narrow it down but im guessing its valves or maybe cct? Any help is appreciated I know its tough to diagnose from my description. I also read any thread i could find here relating to strange noises.
