does it go away with the clutch pulled in or out?
top end or bottom end?
could be ur tensioner, i think a lot of people switch to MCCT.
The noise was a "new" noise. It sounded like a bucket of bolts before, now there is an extra noise. I changed the oil and it was still there. I also thought it might be the rock I found stuck under the skid plate, it wasn't , noise still there.

My valves seem to be in spec. Very low clearance in GG engine vs DRZ that I looked at on you tube.
About to take off the auto chain tensioner now. How do you know if the chain is bad? How do you know if the tensioner is bad? Chain feels nice and tight to me.

Noise is more noticeable when giving it just a little bet of throttle, noticeable at idle but not as much.
Rekluse clutch ; noise doesn't change with clutch in or out.

Also, DRZ has a sight window for top dead center on the left side of the motor, GG has some wires going in that area. How do I know when I'm in top dead center? And if I'm in compression ir exhaust cycle on the cylinder ?
