It's a little difficult to diagnose a sound without hearing it in person.
If you can, make a video of your bike running and post it to YouTube.
Then send us the link.
Or try to determine where the noise is coming from yourself.
With a long screw driver, press the handle to your ear and touch the blade to different areas of the engine, to pin-point where the noise is.
The screwdriver acts as a stethoscope.

Could be running lean or need valve adjustment real bad. Pull the plugs and see what condition (color, residue, burnt, etc) they are in.
