2003 Yamaha BT 1100 Bulldog engine ticking

Hi,
The first thing you need to check is the air filter. Sometimes critters can get into the airbox when a bike sits for awhile. Sounds crazy, but it has happened to me. If nothing is blocking the filter, give it a quick clean since you have it out.
Next things to check:
Faulty diaphragm
Improperly adjusted fuel level
Clogged or loose main jet
Faulty fuel pump
You may not be able to check these on your own, but these are the next likely culprits.
Hope this helped

well Eric, all Yamaha stock is kept in your country at YMD just outside Schiphol, I guess your part is discontinued. you couls ask a Yamaha dealer to see if there is stock in Japan YMC (central stock) if not, keep looking on ebay....
