The valves are noisy on these. Adjust them anyway, and definitely adjust your cam chain.
Different folks adjust the drive chain in a couple different ways, and if you're adjusting it on a stand and happen to be a heavy guy, the suspension sag could cause some rubbing. Look around the swingarm for that.
There are other possibilities, especially an aftermarket skidplate. They seem to send noise right at your helmet from the motor and whatnot, but adjust the stuff that moves to spec and go from there.
