Default Pointy owners i need help

Ive raised this question quite a few times on the org, its about the ticking noise from my engine.. it sounds like its coming from the gubbins inbetween the V of the engine casing..

The ticking
The ticking noise is apparent in low gears at higher revs 5k upwards and if you rev the engine or just increase throttle it gets faster,
my ideas on what it could be are

A, the FI pulsing and ticking away
B, the cam chain tensioners
c, the spark plugs sparking away

i would greatly appreciate some help on this and if you have time can you nip out to the garage start your pointy kneel by its right side and rev the throttle a few times..and listen for a ticking.. i just need to know its normal lol,
because i cant ever remember hearing it in the past before i binned my bike, it could of been there all along.. all of the people who ive asked said it sounds fine, but it can be noticed over the engine noise in day to day riding so it must be loud enough

i really hope im just a nervous nelly lol,
