          It very well maybe tappets. Takes a dead cold engine and 30 minutes at max for faired bikes, so I assume 15 min on an Avvy.
          Get tappets adjusted and let us know.
          Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

            It takes time right? I mean on a cold engine? Mostly you need to adjust the tappets. Also, what parts have you changed?

                1. Check the tappets adjustment.
                2. Check if clutch is getting engaged properly or not. Because i see you've changed the pressure plate.

                    Ok. I was thinking of visiting the service centre within this week and try to solve it. The sound is very annoying whenever I go at high RPM in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear, especially in 4th and 5th gear. Metallic sound coming from engine(left side of engine). Though I didn't notice if this only happens when the engine is hot. Will confirm it tonight.

                      One thing I have also noticed is my mileage is dropped and there is a slight ticking sound whenever I am idling my bike(i.e. in the morning also). So I doubt that the sound is coming only when the engine is hot. Is it only tappet valve or something else?

                        Loss of acceleration.
                        Gears dropping.
                        Low mileage are a few common characteristics.

                              I've also faced the same problem. But now the (tic tic) sound have reduced.
                              1. It was due to loose tappet,
                              2. Loose clutch,
                              3. Ignition coil (as mechanic told).

                              The things I did,
                              1. Tappet tightening
                              2. Clutch reassembled.
                              3. Ignition coil rechecked (but it was completely fine)
                              4. Add a more viscous oil. (Motul 7100 I'm using) . It does reduces engine sounds and vibrations.
