Did you ever figure out what is wrong? Is there something wrong? I can't tell from the video. What am I looking for?
Edit: I hear the tick. Mine has the same but not as loud. Is that normal? Meaning, is it normal to hear the ticking noise but not normal for it to be loud? Thanks. I only have 400 miles on the bike btw.

Interesting... my '08 manual instructs checks at 7500mi intervals after the break-in. 7500mi has been suggested as excessively often, but if the manual says it needs it, there's probably a reason. I'd strongly suggest learning how to do it yourself though to save some big $$ checking it every 3k.
Might also take a look over here, lots of other opinions on the valve checks:
