From the audio you posted, unfortunately all I can hear is normal. Perhaps someone else with better audio will hear something else. Or find another local to listen to it in person.

How is your oil level? It does sound like noisy injectors or lifters not getting enough oil.

My oil level is good, I replaced it last month and still full and clean, maybe using injector cleaner ?

use some TC-W3 2 stroke oil in the gas tank and see how it sounds after that. Check the Fluids and Lubricants section for the sticky on it.

Check your water coolant level also and check the radiator to see make sure it still flowing.
