Is there any motorbikes wholesalers sites?
Your engine and exhaust are made of different metals aluminium and steel. where there is contact of aluminium and steel the aluminium is shrinking 3 times that of steel when it's cooling down so it tends to creep over the steel, that's what causes the sound.Don't worry it's normal.

After you shut off the motor, friction and combustion ceases to heat the metal, therefore cooling it off considerably.
That 'ticking' is the sound of the metal contracting after expanding from the heat produced by friction and combustion.
Does anyone have lojack on a motorcycle?
the engine is hot and just cooling down. I grew up on a farm with motor bikes and I can always remember them ticking when you turned them off, alot of cars do it aswell. I wouldn't worry about it.It's just cooling down. Aluminum expands and contacts a lot with heat, so it is just shrinking back to normal size. No biggie.
