do you have a manual cam chain adjuster?
 
Just my experience on my 1996 GSXR 750. The person i bought the bike from put a manual cam chain adjuster on it. Well they had it tightened down way too much. It ended up wearing through the cam chain guides and making a metalic ticking noise that changed according to RPM's. On my Suzuki it was on the top left side of the motor. Try getting a hold of a stehascope(i can't spell), those thing doctors use to listen to your heart, and you can use it to pin point the sound. Also does it only make this noise while the clucth is engaged or is it all the time?
