Ideas on Ticking Noise

[WaddleDee72]

This noise started about a week ago. I checked the oil, and it was low. I filled the engine with 15W-50, but the noise has remained. Anyone have an idea whether it’s worn valves or something worse? Pulling in the clutch does not change the noise.

camera has a hose connected to its microphone for a more precise sound

Sounds like exhaust leaks to me

You are 100% correct. I feel like a total idiot for not noticing one of the exhaust flanges hanging on the exhaust pipe under the bike. The nuts had come undone. Put some new nuts on, and she sounds normal again. Thank you!!
