it may be the tension er on the timing chain,or it needs a valve job but there is no way to be sure a lot of thing can cause this.i had a similar noise and it was the tension er
easy repair. but you most likely have a bike tech look at it i don't think you will get your answer here. kind of one of those
thing that you have to be there and here it your shelf to figure out

May need a valve adjustment.
If the clearance is to loose, the tappet adjusters will tap against the valve stems.
If it's a wizzzzzzing sound, it could be a failed cam chain tensioner.

you most likely need a valve adjustment. if they are "loose" they will tap and make the noise you describe. fix it asap it wiil only get worse (and more expensive). good luck! :-)

check the cam chain tensioner, they supposedly auto adjust but often dont.

im thinking you might not have enough octance in your gas. either that or it could be just normal. if not, ask a local dealer and see what they have to say.
