ticking on idle and revs zx10 08

Can anyone tell me what side of the motor the cam chain is on the 08 10. I have a really loud ticking coming from the left hand side of the motor, as you sit on the bike. The bike is new, done 2ks. Are the auto or manual tensioners.

My 09 is fairly ticky aswell, im pretty sure its just the normal kawi engine sound.. They are known for being noisey apparently.. Maybe post a sound clip?

Chain is on the right when sitting on the bike.
Pull the clutch in, does it go away?

Kawis are a bit noisy, I wouldn't worry too much.'they have auto tensioners.

I've recently found my 09 engine ticking a bit when the throttle is closed. Has me stuffed what it is.

this is not a quiet tick needs a look at. Sounds like tapits to me. Getting a guy to look at it on friday, let you know
