Noisier after break-in?

Just wondering. When I first got my bike it was very quiet. I am up to around 300 miles now and I can hear the valves and just general top end noise. It's not horribly loud but its noticeable even over my rather loud FMF exhaust. I'm still in warranty so I still have peace of mind, just wondering.

Do you have a skid plate?

Nope. X model BTW.
KX500 for offroad
WR250X for commute Very happy

Yes, they get a bit noisier as the engines break in. Perfectly normal.

Some pretty noisy valves. Then again its been a long time since I had a four stroke.
