Just took the plugs out from the front head and got them finger tight + 1/2 turn/180 degrees ( at half turn plugs fill quite tight like there`s no more tread to go, so i`ve stoped there )
I can still hear the ticking at idle but quieter. Now i have to do the same with the rear head but i have to take some petrol out of the tank or ride it till the tank goes half full.
Possibly i`ve got the plugs to lose in the first place ?
PS: used the OEM sparkplugs. SPARK PLUG (MR8E-9) 09482-00646

Thank you all.
