is this normal sound?
 
sorry about bad picture quality i took it at night but the sound is relevant.
i recorded right side and then left. the engine was wormed up to a half of scale.

i constantly hear some clicking sound in clutch cover area somewhere beside oil level window. when i put screwdriver against cylinder head it sound same on front and rear. i do have a little leakage on exhaust pipe just underneath right footrest but its so tiny i don't think that could make noise that i'mm worried about.

pleas hear this and tell me

It sounds a lot like mine.. It's hard to tell, but I don't hear anything too worrying.

sounds about like mine as well...... does not sound bad to me, does it make any noise during the ride?

cant tell when going over 60mph but when accelerating it seems little louder than before. also on deceleration there is some noise kinda like valves make but much more smoother and quieter.

1300 is a little high for idle, 1100 is about right. mine does the same as yours does. mine makes a little noise at idle and becomes louder between 0-3000 rpm during acceleration. i have just torn mine apart and found nothing out of limits that i could find, so i figure it is just normal for the mileage mine has 60km how many does yours have?

mine has 38k km at least that's what odo says. but its very common in my country to adjust mileage when you plan to sell vehicle (don't ask)
tomorrow i'mm gonna take of the clutch cover and see if anything is loose in there. imm just afraid that something may go wrong with gearbox and block my wheel.

if it is anything like mine you wont find anything, but it does not hurt to check it out to be on the safe side. good luck to you. let us know what you find...

Sounds like mine too.

As far as I can tell, the tiny exhaust leak is not a problem, but instead a feature. Both sides of my bike have them there, I believe by design from Honda as a safety drain to prevent rain (or washing) from filling the pipes and cylinders with water.

I really don't think it is anything to worry about at all. turn down the idle a tad and ride it.
