If you leave the dip stick out of the oil fill, then turn it over. If oil shoots out of it, then the oil pump is working. It may make a bit of a mess, but that will tell you. If the oil pump isn't working, you would have locked it up pretty quickly while running it, I would think. That's not true . I ran mine with a bad pump for awhile and just had high engine temps . |

I also agree 100% that crank case pressure will push oil up.the dipstick port , not the oil pump. Trust me on this , check the right way. I ran my scoot for about 200+ miles with a bad oil pump , maybe even twice as long. Yes its bad for the bearings and whatnot , but I only had high oil temps . I'm betting its more on the lines of the starter clutch , but its always good to rule out the oil pump itself. There is also a chain that runs the pump . it may be causing the noise also . the timing chain is on the opposite side so I'd expect the noise to be louder from the variator side , not the fan side .

Thanks, I thought the oil pump pushed the oil out of the dipstick cover.
A clicking noise on the fan side could be the stator pickup coil has come loose, and is bouncing off of the magnet on the outside of the flywheel. I had that happen, and it made quite the noise.

No prob, the oil pump actually sucks the oil from down below the dipstick and towards the valves. |

I've been having the same type of sound with Yellow this week. Thought maybe it was the clutch, but, installed a new one and the clicking is still there....  |
