Zx6r j1 ticking/tapping noise

Hello

I have noticed a ticking /tapping noise while revving the bike when it's hot 85.c upwards

It sounds like it's coming from the top of the engine, sounds bad while riding but while the bike runs at 70.c it usual riding temp there is no noise

The bike starts fine while hot ( if I'm right that means the tappets ok ? )

I'm just a bit puzzled

Thanks Michael

Power seems alright when it's Hot I haven't noticed much of a difference but I do tend to ride in high gears and lower revs when it gets 85'c trying to keep it cool and shims + cam chain was what I was worried about :|
