Adjust valve lash, you'll have to look at a manual for the details.

Also, another thing to remember is that you'll always hear SOME clicking, as your injectors make some noise when they pulse (mine do at least, and so do my DSM 450cc's, but they're much louder)

Sounds like you may have a small exhaust leak.

If it sounds like a sewing machine, you just need to adjust your valve lash. Its easy to do and takes about 30 minutes. It wont hurt it too much if your dont do it.

adjusting valves isn't hard, but you should still have a manual for more involved things.
