I've complained to my dealer about a ticking noise on my 2000T which I started hearing at about 200 miles. I checked the oil level and discovered the dealer had overfilled it - I siphoned out about 1/3 quart to make the level correct. The noise is still there, and I have 7500 miles (and several oil changes) on it now. Dealer says maybe a lifter, maybe the cam tensioner, but he advised against taking the engine out of a brand new bike to find such a "minor problem". Once I removed the windshield I couldn't hear the noise at all !!!

It's out of warranty as of early July, so I'm expecting it to blow up any time now.
