Default Could it be the camchain Tensioner?

I have noticed a slight ticking sound coming from the left hand side of the engine when Ideling, on my GSX-R 750 SRAD. I read on gixxxer.com that it could be the CCT, but they say the ticking should be coming from the right hand side. Also the engine sounds a little rougher,i.e. slightly like a desiel engine. I have been changing the oil often and changing the oil filter every second oil change ( as per the manual )

Anything else I can look at / it could be.?
