What about your cam chain? Did you figure out why it was so loose? It shouldn't be run if its too loose.
When i pull in the clutch lever, some of that knocking/ticking goes away. But most of the ticking is from the top right side of the engine, where the cam chain sits.

It is definitely not tight, but it is only that was when cylinder 2 is at TDC.

The guides were fine, the chain tensioner mechanism was moving smoothly when i was done with it and the CCT itself was alright (i asked a pro) and also replaced the spring inside the CCT just for good measure. Only thing left is the chain i would say :\

I think thats a job for the winter to be honest with you, at this point i am going to ride it down to school until November or something and then store it away.
