Looks like you have an chain tensioner door (small plate held on by 4 screws on the chaincase cover to the left towards the front of the bike). You can also look in there, feel the chain for tautness without losing oil.If it is loose, you can adjust it through this window. If you pull the whole primary chaincase cover, you'll have to drain the primary. Good luck - nice looking bike. I have no idea the noise might be, but that's a good place to start if it sounds like it is coming from the primary area. Could be the compensating sprocket loosened up? Sometimes you can sort of isolate where a noise is coming from by using a stethascope or putting a screwdriver against your ear ( non pointy end) and placing the other end against various places on the motor as it is running. If I were you, I would definitely determine what is making noise before running for more than evaluation.

hey savage i took a look in side the chain tesioner and felt the chain it had some play in it.i tried to adjust it but i dont know if im doin right.But i do know that the block with the adjuster nut that bites into the teeth,when i move it around,it makes that sound ,so i tried to pry up the block higher and tightened it back up....is that right....... thanks again bro its nice people like you that i need in my life to help me out

Yes, you loosen the center bolt nut and move the shoe assembly up to take out slack. You should have 5/8" to 7/8" deflection up or down when cold, 3/8" TO 5/8" if hot. Don't over tighten the chain so there is no deflection.

If the tensioner adjustment doesn't get rid of the noise, you might have a bad compensating sprocket.
