Have you inspected the rotor?  A burr or slight bend could cause that.

Worn pads, loose caliper? Loose fender?

The ticking noise is from the wheel speed (ABS) sensor on the right front side. My Xciting 500 carb has no ABS, but the same sensor and produces the same noise.
Same when you drive along a narrow row of pillars etc. The change between gaps and solid material influences the free flow of air.
My dealers answer: It is from the holes in the brake discs.

Ts1 answer makes sense with so few miles you cant tell me my brakes are wore out. If they are I am trading mine in for a Yamaha Tmax
