Possibly the fuel injectors you are hearing? Weirded me out the first few times I heard it too.

This would be the first thing that I would check. Make sure that your drive chain tension is set near the minimum recommendation per the manual. The adjustment can be made at the end of the swingarm.

Secondly, you can also adjust the crankshaft balancer backlash as popgun has mentioned. There is a specific procedure for this as mentioned in the service manual.
