It sounds like most of the 350 Warriors and Raptors I've ridden...noisy(they have the same engine).
It's an air cooled 80's engine, they make a racket, but they are extremely dependable, hence using the same engine for a quarter century.
I've seen guys beat the heck out of them for years, all the while sounding like marbles in a can.
I'de ride it and not worry about it, really.
Worst case, the top end eventually blows, but it's a cheap and easy rebuild.
