I recently bought 2017 sportsman 450 ho’s as project bikes. I got one running (blue) and it’s making a weird amount of engine noise. Kinda sounds like valve tick but not sure. Kinda just a noisy motor in general. Nor rod slap or knock just noise. Is this normal for a bike with a little over a thousand miles? (New to this forum and not sure how to add vids on here if I can get some help also)

last time I checked the dipstick after running for a while, the oil was clean, I'm doing an oil change this weekend and will let you know
