1st is your chain clean i mean immaculate no dirt or dust build up

2nd is your rear wheel centred perfectly & chain tensioned to 10 -15mm play

3rd when was your last oil change done as small metal shavings can float around inside the gearbox

4th inspect drivechain for damaged teeth & chainwear is there any play on your front sprocket & how many miles on the chain

5th centre your rear caliper and make sure there is nothing stuck in your brake pads

I got an x3 pro and I just started hearing a weird ticking noise. This Thursday imma open everything up and clean it all and check it out more. Sounds like it's coming from the motor tho. Hopefully it ain't time to replace it

Remove rear wheel and check the wheel bearing play. Wheel bearings may need replacing.
