If you are talking about the ticking noise as the exhaust starts to cool, I wouldn't worry about it. Pretty normal if the bike when a hot bike is shut off.
 
Crackling exhaust….aahhhaaaa

Just backyard stupid on my part…..bike had been in a carport during a AZ monsoon….water must have blown in….big weather…and when it was hot it boiled off….and I was there to hear it….guessing. Flogged it hard today with no issues or repeat. Off to Cedar City Wednesday AM
