I have a 2007 c50 and it makes this exact noise glad you took this video with that little of mileage to help clarify to new riders with older bikes it’s okay having some noises
My C90 with about 3k on it just started ticking, which comes and goes, but is primarily there only under throttle and disappears when the clutch is squeezed. Does not tick when idling and no loss of performance thus far.
Funny i have been looking for this sound on youtube for weeks. Bought an 07 with 19000 on it and sounds exactly the same. But like BAMA said its pretty normal. I took it to the shop and they said its running good. Look up some videos of loose valves on this bike and it sounds nothing like this. I wish it was more quite but hey I guess you could tighten up the clearance but will eventually burn the valves. I just said if it gets any louder I will adjust them but you are good.
mine Suzuki GSR 600 (2008) sounds exactly the same, when the engine is cold. After 2-3 minutes, when temperature goes to around 50 degrees, this sound is vanishing completely.
I have a 2006 C 50, same sound, but I have a little over 60K on the clock. For me, it was both timing chains and the associated guides. Hope thats not the case with you, that set me back a l ittle over $1500.
Yeah I cut out the baffles and wear a full helmet anyways now, so I really don't notice. But when coasting next to curbs or buildings you can really hear the ticking, way louder than the video.
From what I understand, the engine ticking is nothing to worry about and is expected. What I should have done is capture the (maybe chain slap) when coasting or light engine breaking. That's freaking annoying ticking off the curbs. When I pull in on the clutch the ticking goes away.

I have a 2005 with 35k on the clock and what I heard on your engine sounds normal!!
So what turned out to be that sound? Was it lifter adjustment or cam chain sound or some kind of rod noise?

Adjust the valve clearance. It's just part of the break in process.

I wish mine was this quiet. Mine sounds like a sewing machine.
