All I have read is that this could be the timing chain, but it seems to be more dominant on the left side of my bike. I recorded the sound of my bike, and let me know if it sounds normal and maybe I'm going crazy. Thanks for any input! It does get louder the higher in rpms I go.

when's the last time the valve clearance was checked? don't know that that's it but it may be a place to start.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust and the servo removed? Sounds like the servo could be going bad especially if its louder upon accelleration. take your plastics off to see if thats the culprit. It is on the left side of the bike so thats a plus.

It's completely stock. I will check the servo, how will I know if it's bad? I saw a video showing it running, but don't know what to expect if it's not doing it's job. If that's not it I think I'm just going to take it in just to make sure. Might as well. Thanks for the help guys.

I also don't have a FI light on like others

Im getting a sound similar to that and I expect that I need to do my valves but dont want to do it mid season. Thats what I would look into. But first check your oil. if your low you can get a tick like that.
