2006 r6 clanking at low RPM and throttle

2006 r6 clanking at low RPM and throttle

Please help me identify the issue 

I just bought this 2006 r6 and I’m super excited to ride it!

But shortly after I bought it it started with a rattle/clancking, it mostly just happens at low throttle and low rpm it’s the most prominent on a slight uphill (like in that video)

In the second video the bike is in neutral and warm.

The issue seems to be less severe when the bike just starts up cold and it seems to be worse when I listen to it after the ride when it’s warm( but I’m not completely sure on that haha)

The sound also seems to be coming from the left side of the bike, but I’m also not sure on that. It seems to be hard to pinpoint it (because otherwise I would suspect a cam chain issue)

At speed and normal operating RPM the bike seems to run pretty well tho.

The issue also seems to be getting worse which time 

As a sidenote, the bike also desperately needs a valve adjustment, but at least for that I know what the issue is.

Thanks to everyone for your advice
