Hi hows it going, i'm off from london to oz next year and have just started preventative maintanence on the bike (3aj)my bike was also making the same sort of noise so i took the engine out which took 2 hours and was realy easy to do, and found the cam chain needed changing and also the cylinder was scratched.
my advise to you is if you have a bit of time, take the engine out which was a walk in the park and didn't take hardly any tools, and have a look at the girl. this way your know your bike alot better and have a load more confidence. I'm replacing the guts (valve springs, piston, camchain, gugeoun pin) which has cost 150 notes for the parts so no matter what the out come, its still dirt cheap to sort out
