But as you can see from the pics and videos, theu are both fine? Both operate correctly, no noises or resistance??
So I'm baffled as it sounds like it should be the bearings
As mentioned earlier these noises can be notoriously difficult to find at times. Have you checked the airbox intake along it's whole length, air filter not torn, throttle body rubbers to head and to the bodies? Failing that, the clutch has a few bearings, oil and water pump drive chain or one of the pumps, or the gear box.
If you pull the clutch in does the noise change, on the main stand and in gear let the clutch out (be careful) increase the revs, is it still there better worse, same?

I've checked the airbox and filter thoroughly, haven't looked at the throttle bodies at all.
I did ponder clutch but noise is nowhere near that area and pulling the clutch lever (either in gear or out) has no effect of it what so ever
Every bit of research I do on the web points to the generator, most people seem to hear this noise first then find out theirs has gone to pieces.

Thats an example of an R1 making the exact same noise but his outer bearing was completely shattered unlike mine
My only thoughts now are to either A. Ignore it or B. Spend the money replacing to 2 seemly fine bearings just for the sake of it to see if that fixes things ?♂️
