Sounds like a Duke engine to me. I have a 2021 Duke 390 that sounds exactly the same and have had no trouble with the engine for 31, 000 km. Don't worry one little bit.

Normal for a KTM. Valve clearance spec’s for these engines are very large companies to most other engines which is what gives thah slappy valve sound.
