I once let an old Lancia with too low oil level, so the oilpump "starved" for a fraction of a second during cornering (I saw the red light, but that's already too late).
After that, it made the same awful noise as your videos. After some heart surgery, tt was cured with new conrod bearings (big end) and some grinding on the cranckshaft. Only the bearing surface of two of the four conrods were affected. It lived a long life after that.
But that was an old Lancia which drunk almost as much oil as fuel. I've never seen any oil consumption on my CB.
