Exclamation Problems in Spain/Sevilla with my Xt600z 1vj Tenere / Strange Noises > Video

A wonderful good morning and greetings from Seville


I'm on my way to Morocco, and unfortunately, I noticed a unpleasant new noise yesterday after a long stretch on the motorway.

Brief preliminary explanation of the Moto.

It's a 1vj which I installed a new/old 3aj engine about 6 thousand kilometers ago, almost exactly before the start of the trip. Runs really well so far and was also surprisingly quiet in terms of noise etc.


Yesterday I wanted to do some stretches and drove on the Autobahn at a very moderate 14 degrees with a relaxed 90-110 km/h. No headwind, no extreme gradients.

In the course of this journey, a noise was added.
I always drive with earplugs, so I haven't noticed it very clearly on this trip so far.
When I arrived at the campsite and drove the last few meters to the campsite without ear plugs, I was very surprised.

Here's a video of the noise.
Engine was started cold with choke.
At the beginning it is not audible for 5-7 seconds, but then it becomes audible. A bright, unpleasant clicking/ticking.
For the last third I take out the choke.

What I also noticed on the freeway was that there was a short, maybe half-second moment of abrupt loss of power.
However, there were only 1 to 1.5 liters in the tank, and I was traveling uphill with partial load and 110km/h.

I once had a jamming/intensive longer friction with the previous engine in the 1vj, which felt significantly different/more intensive.


My situation now is as follows.

My plan was to stay in Morocco until March. I would like to know before the crossing (actually planned for the end of this week) what the noise could be and find out if I could better fix it here in Europe with the right parts, or if it's something that might also fix it in Morocco could become.

Maybe somebody is here who can Help me in Sevilla, or Know somebody who can help me in Marrokko(North)

The Bike is still running, but the noise is really not that nice...


ADD:
I checked the Bulbs yesterday, they sadly completely normal.
Also, I checked the Chain, I have 8 more "clicks".
