Hi!
My XTZ660 makes a strange noise coming from the top of the engine and i can't find what is causing it.
The noise can only be heared when I rev up the engine and let off the throttle, or while engine braking. I've already set the valve clearences and checked the timing chain tensioner (when I took the tensioner out, it was in the 10-11th tooth then I pushed it a few teeth out), but the noise did not change.
Here's a video of the engine noise:

On an other forum I've found az NX650 with a similar sound, that bike's problem was loose valve seats.

Can that be the case with my bike too? Are XTZ660 valves seated like the NX650 valves?
If not, what can cause this sound?
Thanks
