Default Ticking Noise

GasGas EC 125 2006
In the attached video, especially later in the video, thers a loud ticking noise. I am 90% sure it is coming from the engine.
I am also quite sure it is the clutch basket that is worn out and has play, causing the noise. As it is maknig noise, I assume it is wayyyy to worn out and needs to be replaced.
I am still making this post to get more opinions whether its the clutch or not, and what to do.
Do mind that almost everything in the engine was replaced, EXCEPT the clutch and the clutch bearings. This means that theres always the possibilty that the 2 roller bearings inside the clutch might be worn out, and maybe it isnt the clutch.
Anyway, heres the video of the ticking noise:

Also, In the following link, you can see a video showing the play in the clutch. This was during engine reassembly. I made a thread about this a month ago or so whether this is bad or not, but unfortunately didnt get an answer.

Lastly, a picture of how it currently looks )

The bike looks great! Does it make that noise when the clutch lever is pulled in or when the lever is out or does it always make that noise? When does it not make noise? Does it matter if the engine is under load or not?

Thank you!
Tried out another clutch. Turned out it actually was the chain, even if it was tight. Though the clutch I am using now is for sure cooked, because when I pull the clutch it stops, and when not, it sometimes knocks. At least at low rpms

It may be the rubber basket isolators are worn out. A couple of my GG bike make different noises with the clutch lever pulled in or out.

The GG bikes make lots of chain noise that can sound like detonation and other bad things. Be careful not to run the chain tight because it puts lots of pressure on the transmission output shaft bearing.

Yeah most likely rubbers in the basket but it costs more than a 100 dollars to replace so its barely not worth it.
