It started to smoke everywhere. It wouldn't idle or stay running without opening the throttle. I could smell burnt oil. The oil light would come on when it stalled, but the bike would restart easily. I could hear a ticking sound from the top of the motor. It sounds OK now when I first start it up, but then it runs funny and the ticking is back.
