Sounds like excessive valve clearance or a timing chain that’s not quite tight enough

yes, i been told that too, but i replaced cam chain, even tried manual chain tensioner. also did valves, like 5 motohours before. sounds like this since i bought it.

My 2008 450R makes a similar noise that had me concerned enough to ask - was told it was normal.. however would still be a good idea to get more opinions on your particular noise..
