Default Engine noise identification

My 2002 AP1 has 205k miles. Just replaced TCT with billman TCT which solved that noise.

However, now when warm (not when cold) I get the attached noise file. Fairly loud. Is this valves? Or is this worse? accessory?

Engine pulls strong. It does burn oil. Probably 800 miles a quart especially when revved higher of course.

thanks!

Very low frequency, valve adjustment is first thing to check.

Thanks. I can do that myself...used to adjust the valves on my CBR900RR which was more difficult as you had to removed the cams to replaces shims under the buckets. At least these are just screw type. I still have the thickness gauges.

You know, those shims maybe a pain... but they're quite accurate.
