It idled for a bit and we kept hearing a ticking noise, I was adjusting the manual cam chain tensioner to make sure there wasn't anymore play in it because I heard a ticking noise which I thought was the chain then I heard a CLACK and I immediately turned off the bike in case something had broken off. I opened the top and looked at the valves, camshafts, and chain but everything looks to be in perfect condition.

I'm at a loss here, I may take it to a mechanic on tuesday and hopefully they can fix it if I can't figure it out by then.

Edit: turning over the engine over manually didn't give me any weird noises either, so it doesn't seem like anything is loose or stuck.
