More than likely cam chain rattle, which will be coming from the top middle part ofthe engine, quite common with these bikes.
Sometimes it will go away when the bike oil is warmed up, or it could also simply be in betwwen clicks of the cam chain tensioner.
I mainly do quite short runs to work on mine and it took around 7 months for the adjuster to click to the next level.
My chain has been changed though as i found the noise quite irritating.
Although annoying i would be inclined to leave it for a while in case you are between clicks, unless you bought it from a dealer then i would maybe point it out to them.
The chain wears over time and stretches and when at it's worst the tensioner which pushes on a guide to take up the slack can only click notches so far until you get a constant rattle, which is when the cam chain would ideally need replacing.
