Ticking noise after long ride?
it speeds up with engine rpm, and only manifests itself after i've been riding for a while(30mins +)
if i kill it and let it sit and cool off for 15-20 minutes, the sound goes away
any ideas?

Diagnosing sounds over the internet is like having a blind person judge paint colors! 
Maybe a valve that loosens up while warm or it could be nothing. What is a noise to one rider is normal engine noise to another.

Anytime I see the "ticking" I think exhaust leak first. Check up near the cylinder as best you can. This can be tough on the rear. Use a piece of hose and see if you can isolate a general area the sound is coming from.
