Best bet is to get someone local to you to come and have a quick listen to it, bike engines are quite lightly built so don't muffle sound like a car lump so you get quite a lot of mechanical noise.

The big problem is when its going "slap slap slap" at tickover, ljharmitt had a video of his bike running like that asking "whats this noise" the next post was pretty much "why is it broken"

Hello from up north, not much use with the noise issue, my engine has always had a bit f mechanical noise and none of the garages I've been to have commented on it.
