If it's RPM related, which it sounds like it is, the first thing I would check is the valve clearances. If that checks out ok, then there's a good chance it's deeper within the motor, I.E: Piston slap, Con-rod bearing failing/failure, etc.

If it's speed related check carrier bearings, chain slider, and the condition of the chain and sprockets.
