Can someone help me identify this ticking noise?

Can't really hear the "ticking" but does it subside when you pull in the clutch lever? If so, it's a normal sound that some SH's have. Appears to maybe be a little play between the metal plates and the basket at idle and no load. Mine's really prominent as I removed the anti rattle gear and springs (less rotating mass) as well as the sound attenuation plate inside the clutch cover

Sounds okay - You'd know if CCT failure had occurred. Wise move to getting auto CCTs for manuals - don't leave it too long & make sure you install them correctly.
One cause of 'ticking' / 'clicking' can be an air leak in the exhaust between manifold / header or header/ link pipe. Most folk don't notice due to loud exhausts and ear plugs :-)

Yeah, I usually have music going on in my helmet, but my girlfriend noticed it when I pulled into the garage, everything rides fine on it and shifts very smoothly. Going to install mCCTs and then while im in there see if I can find the leak, my brother said the same thing.
