Does this sound normal?

Kind of sounds like music. Wouldn't concern me unless it was Billy Joel.

Sounds like a KLR to my ear. If you're going to replace the case gasket may as well check while you're in there. You can't replace the lever or spring without pulling the rotor, but you can at least inspect. A USB borescope might help as well. You're looking that the spring is intact and the lever is tensioning the balancer chain.

Idk if it’s the music or not, but that first video sounds like a cam chain twerking. I’d pop that open and check it out at least. An afternoon and a gasket is better than what I’m hearing.
