Well done on sorting that noise out! I never let the engine run while the bike is only on the sidestand. However, I have the "cam walk" noise as well. Have never removed the buckets to inspect for possible wear, so something to put on the future "to do" list.
As the noise has never got worse or affected performance in any way, I just accept it!1981 GS850G "Blue Magic" (Bike Of The Month April 2009)
