Ktm duke 250 gen 3 engine noise problem?

Hello 👋

I am facing engine noise problem on my ktm duke 250 gen 3, the engine sounds nice and smooth on morning cold starts, as engine heats up after riding few kilometers the engine making ticking or rattling noise as shown in the vedio, i checked with ktm service centre, the technician told me its head noise but service engineer argued with that the noise is common and its there in all the bikes, so people who own can share your thoughts on this please.

Also, my bike was kind of viby when baught new, specially on footpegs, seat and more vibes felt on left side seat and tank panel, but runs smooth in the rpm range of 5.5k to around 8k plus rpms, riding in the city makes my bum go numb after 10min but highway feels much better, i dont know if the vibrations problem is bcoz of this engine head issue

Owners if possible share the vedios of the same after engine warms up.

Thank you.
