I had a problem like that too maself. I tightened the cam chain, and nope no help! what my problem was was thatI had excessive crank rod bearing play on the #4 crankrod. Why? The previous owner used to leave his bike idling while it was leaning. You might have the same prob if you have done all the other pieces of advice above
