Strange this. XT's are usually pretty bullet proof..
So, its basically lower engine noise !! Does it happen when the bike is idling in neutral ?? Even with the clutch lever pulled in ???
Sounds like lay shaft or crankshaft bearings or maybe the starter clutch is catching..
Really hard to say without seeing/hearing it. You're really best off letting a mechanic listen to it for a diagnosis.
