What's your current mileage?

Would you also mind re-recording the video with some source of light. It's kinda hard to distinguish where on the engine we are listening to.

Ummm...wow. Probably time to get those valves done. The chain tensioner may be making some noise too and that will be removed during the valve adjustment. Best time to clean and lube it as well.

PLEASE get your valves done!

Did mine this weekend. In spec is for the exhaust side is .22mm - .29mm (I know .22 is right just cant remember the highest) And one of mine was at .03mm. Another idk 500-1000 miles and my bike would have seized up, probably in that canyon.....
