Default Help! What is that noise?

It is not there when cold but when it is warm I hear a "rattle" at the front of the front cylinder valve cover but only from the left side, not from the right side of the engine. When riding, it gets louder from 2500 to 3000 RPM.
&nbsp\\;
Before I tore the cover off, I just wondered if anyone might know what it is...
&nbsp\\;
THANKS!

Thanks for the reply...

No, no mods. It does have 53,000 miles on it. Being in the side of the primary, I first thought it was the compensating sprocket, but the noise is definately at the rocker box.
