So a noise that was only very quite before has got loud and can be heard especially at 22 seconds into this video.

Any thoughts on this?

I torqued the exhaust bolts (they were a little lose) but it has made no difference.

You may need to loosen the foot peg carrier bolt and have someone wiggle the exhaust while you take off the head bolts 1 at a time, put anti seize on it and tighten it back down.
Failing which you may need to put gaskets in it - not just replace - put new gasket on top of old - double gasket.
I however dont know for sure its a exhaust leak, I didn't watch the video.
Cool.

The low noise that can be heard when I rev at 22 seconds into the video it's a rattle

Took it to one mechanic today and he said that he thinks its the cam chain so the tensioner needs to be replaced. Does this sound correct to you guys?

I am partly deaf so it is difficult for me to identify sounds now (62YO).
I have listened toi the clip several times and I cannot hear anything terrible there.  :dunno_black:

the mechanic i bring my to i put a lot of trust on and he has given me great deals with the great service and your bike sounds just like mine what he told me was its just the auto camchain tension er and he said sometimes they don't fire up right off the bat cause the noise will be there when i turn off the bike then back on. What he told me is not to worry unless you hear that same sound the whole time if it is there for a little at start up then goes away there is nothing to worry about.
