Yo 702 that last vid sounds normal to me . Remember there's 4 valves, roller lifters,cam chain,balancers , slugs and a primary chain all whizzing around in there .There was a slight metallic sound at the end but it wasn't offensive to me. We know if that bike was warmed up , if it wasn't it'll tighten up a little when warm .
I think I remember your sound bite and yea you had a weird noise for sure but if it's not getting hot and losing power .What does your used oil and filter look like ?

Yea that's her . There's something rubbing or misaligned .
I'm going back to your first sound bite for a listen .BB in 5 lol.
Has it got a bit less loud than it was before ?

The first clip was from my wifes phone, the second was from mine. That may be the difference. Are you in Vegas? If so, I'd sure like to hear yours and compare.

Haha I was going to say, one day we'll probably meet somewhere and get to talking about this. I live outside of Vegas but commute there for work so one of these weekends we'll have to meet up and you can listen to mine. I have Rinehart slip-ons on mine and I can still hear the sewing sound over the pipes. Doesn't bother me

I know this is a long shot but does it go away if you pull the clutch in ? Does it modulate like a throw out bearing at all when you pull the clutch ?
It's late here so I'll check back in later in your today but my tomorrow.
