It's really hard to tell from the video, but I'd guess it's cam chain noise or maybe primary gear or clutch slop. It's not pinging. I've heard a similar noise from mine at times, but I can't tell the relative sound level. Since it goes away when the engine is hot, it's probably nothing like worn out main bearings.
