I know you said noise on the left side, but noises in a motor can be deceiving. The first thing I would do is adjust the cam chain tensioner and see if it still does it. A loose cam chain usually makes the most noise on deceleration. If not that then I agree, check the clutch basket ( the weak link in a J motor ). While decelerating and hearing the noise, pull the clutch lever in and see if it stops or lessens.

If that's the case, pull the clutch basket, no splitting the cases on a J motor, and inspect the spring on the rear of the basket. If they are loose, that's probably the noise.
