I get it to sometimes but only when engine and oil are up to temp and I've been sitting still idling at the lights for example and then as I move off I hear that ticking sound. Warmer weather seems to cause it to happen more often.
I used to think it was engine ping (detonation) but my workshop checked for that and it's not ping.
I use Motul 300V 10W/40 oil.
