25k miles on the bike

This one seems to come from the bottom end I think
I have a manual cct and adjusted it recently
It goes away after 30 seconds or so on a cold start and it only happens during a cold start. I can come back after a ride 2 hours later and it won't happen but once the engine is cold it's there. Also it goes away is I put it in gear and start letting go of the clutch.

This one happens at around 6.5 to 7k rpms like a loud whine
The rpm range it occurs changes depending on which gear I'm in for example in 2nd gear it will happen at 6k but 3rd it won't show up until 7k.
Neither seems to effect power it pulls great and shifts fine.
Curious to see what people think or is anyone experienced something similar.

Update**
In case anyone else comes across this and has a similar sound. Haven't figured out second video sound yet but the ticking ended up being the tensioner guide
You can see the black piece on the left side broken, still tensioned the cam chain but the plastic is broken
Part number 14510-mbw-000
Also you don't need to drain the oil to get at the clutch I tipped over halfway on a fence and put a jack underneath to stop it from coming back down. All the oil stays on the other side of the bike.
