Hey guys.
First time poster but been lurking around for some time now. Am from Sweden btw.
I have noticed a strange sound coming from the engine on my above mentioned bike. It only appears when I start the bike and the engine is warm. It doesnt appear after I ridden it and I let the engine idle. I have to shut the engine off and on for it to appear. Never appears when engine is cold. Bike ussualy starts fine with a bit of choke needed sometimes. Rides and revs perfect. Never had any problems. Only thing is a bit irregular idle sometimes.

Sound is most noticable on the right side.
From what I read the cam chain tensioner seems to be the weak link on this bike and I think mine is original, atleast its an automatic one from what I saw when I peaked. Could it be the problem or is there something else wrong? Valves maybe?
Thank you guys for having a look.
