I also had such a (perhaps the same ?) clicking when I used
a full-synthetic 5W-40 oil. Now I chaned to 10W-40 and it nearly
disappeared. Accoring to my dealer this 5W-40 oil is especially
for high-revs racing bikes and drops down in the oil sump too fast
on the low rev AT. Don't if that's true, but it helped !
