yeah, that does not sound good. Your compression test numbers are?

Didn't watch/listen to the clip. Typically, it's bent shifting forks, valves (which were not or improperly) adjusted, cam chain tensioner and related timing issues, or plain 'ol stupidity of the owner. Try to figure out if it's top end or lower end; the nature of the noise, and work from there.
Good luck.

Am in the process of taking the engine out of my other zx7r that I was gonna use as a track bike, once I've done that gonna strip it and hopefully find the cause, just wondered if anybody had heard the same noise and found the cause, just make troubleshooting it easier

cheers
