I agree... your valves clearances were probably less that what they should have been. That was the case with mine anyway. I just had my 12K service done as well. When the dealer called me to let me know my bike was ready to pick up, I ask the mechanic if any of the clearances were out of spec. He told me that all my intake valves were OK, but 3 of the 4 exhaust valves had less clearance than the factory specs. Unfortunately I haven't been able to go pick my bike up, so I can't comment on the amount of "ticking sound". Not yet anyway... but hopefully real soon.
