qlink xf clanging after winter storage

Greetings Good people
I have a qlink xf, I’ve had it since 2010 it has 12,000Km on it as I have road it every warm season since I’ve acquired it. Anyway I went to get it out from winter storage this year and started it up and the bike all of the sudden has a clanging clanking noise in the engine that was not present before or when I put it in for storage for the winter cold months. I’ve checked the cam tensioner and it is working properly. the rod was not pushed out all the way and has quite a lot to go before the rod would be extended its entire length. So the cam chain. should be good(by the way how long does the cam chain last before needing replaced?). The clutch is tight and good, valves are are adjusted to specs, changed oil and went over the entire bike for lose bolt and parts. The sound is just a constant clanging at idle and revved. Doesn’t matter if it is in neutral or in any of the gears, it still make the steady unusual sound. Sometimes it will all of the sudden stop for a while only to start back up again. Any suggestions as to what this may be So I can maybe go straight to the cause and fix it.
Thank you for your Help?
