So I made a boo boo.. I ran the oil close to dry on my bike.. don’t ask..‍♂️ I noticed a metal tick in the lower end of the bike I adjusted my valves and the noise is still there but like I said it sounds like it’s in the lower end on the motor. The noise goes away at high rpm and can only be herd at low rpm. Could this be a clutch issue? The bike operates perfectly fine but is very noisy now.

sounds like a wrist pin or crank related just off the description if its not the valves. sometimes you can try a little thicker oil like it your running 10-30 go to 10- 40. to see if it helps but more than lilely if its the bottom end your gonna need to go into the motor and change the bearings.

Are you sure it's something that wasn't there before? These make some goofy noises.
