Not sure what the noise is but it’s been driving me nuts for months now and can’t figure out what’s causing it.

Exhaust heat shield?

For the sake of just diagnosing the issue, you could remove them, sure. I wouldn't leave them off, me...

Really sounds like rear cam chain tensioner....

First pull left side plastic engine cover. On the rear cylinder on the back of the cylinder there is a tensioner. You will be able to see it between exhaust shield and clutch. See if it has spun out of its home. If you read through the other thread you can see what I am talking about.

Its actually not to hard but it is fairly mechanical. There are two ways to fix it. The first way is you can get away with just pulling the valve cover, and setting motor to tdc then pulling cam tensioner out and putting it back in. Or the better way is to pull valve cover, clutches, exhaust, left crankcase cover and maybe head depending on the condition of the guides. The one guide can only be replaced if you pull head. You will also need a couple of special tools and service manual. If you want more info ask and I can either make a video or a more detailed post.

That’s way to technical for me. Crappy time with Christmas around the corner to bring it into a stealership and pay the 140$ an hour. And I’m not 100 percent sure it’s that but it definitely sounds similar.

No. Just pull the left plastic side cover and pull the exhaust shield and you will be able to see the tensioner.

All you need to do is see if it is still screwed in. If it is then don't worry about it. But from the noise I hear I am fairly certain that is the issue.
