I've emailed a report of the buttons not working to Mako... It could be site maintenance is being performed or some other temporary issue.

Can't even 'like' your post haha. i'm sure it'll get sorted so i'll stop scalding my computer.

Appreciate everyones input. Listening to the video vs in real time I don't think the ticking sound is exaggerated. I'm just being cautious, I've read other similar threads where members are like "that sounds horrible, stop it immediately or you'll grenade the bottom end!". I just don't have the experience of some of you so wanted to get your thoughts before I did something potentially bad. I guess i'll suit up and take it the local moto-farm and give her a workout.
