2013 GSXR750 low kms ticking noise any help appreciated!!

So here’s the story never posted or anything before just at a loss for what’s going on here.
I usually ride with music however one day I decided to ride without music and heard a noise from my bike that I didn’t like, (I have my redseal for automotive not currently in automotive as I now switched trades) I’ll post a video of the noise, at idle it sounds fine, no weird noises then around 2500 and higher you get a ticking noise, my best guess is that it sounds like something with the valve train I looked online before this and everyone was saying chain tensioner which I thought was basically impossible with such low kms.. but I put one in just because, I put a manual one in however didn’t do anything. I checked head bolts and flanges, it doesn’t change when the clutch is engaged. I thought maybe possible injector knock but got shut down quick as I put my stethoscope on the injectors and it sounds fine I drained the oil and filter everything looks good there’s no shavings or anything out of the ordinary, I thought maybe a broken clutch basket or plate however the noise sounds like the centre of the engine.. could be up top next step is likely to pull the valve cover and check clearances.. ( I’m not particularly easy on this bike I do ride it hard and there is clutch up wheelies involved however it gets serviced very often ) any input is appreciated.
