New to me '01 RK, odd clattering noise
#11
Agree with the good crank comments, probably still should do a look see, previous owner may have ignored the cam tensioners.
Might also check the primary for loose chain. As the older models had manual adjusters.
My 04 with gear drive cams will make a similar noise when warm or when i run it hard for a long time. 1000 mile day, etc.
Typically needs a primary chain adjustment then its good till it needs it again

Before you repair anything, you get the tensioners looked at first. $100
Then you can decide which way to go if its time to do something about them. Simple as new tehsioner shoes at $59 a piece, to a new upgrade hydraulic kit, to gear drive cams...etc.
