It's a big twin and does vibrate a bit. It would seem that quite often the faults stem from summat shaking loose.

update- just checking over engine found central spark plug on cyl 1 half way out ! could well be the source of the click click click
That certainly could give you an extra sound from the engine. :thumbup You prolly hearing compression gases trying to exit the plug hole each cycle. Nice find mate. Hope you gave all plugs a clean, gap resize, thread lube and reseated while you were at it. :nana Cheers, Aj
ive lost several bits due to the vibes,a bolt out of my screen,one out of my numberplate,and i even lost a whole heel guard and both screws last week ffs.
i now constantly check and nip up all the screws and bolts i can get at.

All RSV owners definately need a torque wrench and heed recommended ft.lb/nwtm settings for the appropriate fittings. As bigUN says...these bikes have a vibey engine. For some fittings..1 drop of low/med strength threadlock medium is advised. ( not spark plugs of course :nana but you know that one)
Cheers matey...enjoy that sweet RSV :thumbup
