Bro TechnoGecko, Seems like the problem is most likely the 3rd problem you mentioned. It does not make any sound when on mainstand but with load, it does make noise..... With wifey pillion, it's even noisier! Anyway, I'll check the chain for any abnormalities. What should I be looking for in the 1st place?? Funny thing, I changed the X-Ring chain about 2 months back only.... And I clean & lube it regularly....*sigh*

Thanks for the replies however I doubt that it's the CCT as I changed it about 2 months back. Furthermore, the knocking sound appears only at 2000 RPM and above.... and stays there until I close throttle. I have a distinct feeling that it could be the chain knocking onto something however I can't seem to find what it is... The chain guide on the swingarm appears ok also. Funny thing is that I tested the bike on mainstand, running it on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears however there is no knocking sound... Still looking at other possibilities...

Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on what could be the cause of a knocking sound from the left side of the bike, somewhere from the engine to the drive chain. I still can't figure it out. When I'm throttling at low speed, the sound is more obvious than at higher speeds (Probably wind noise muffles it?). It is especially noisy at the lower gears. But when I'm gliding with a closed throttle, the sound disappears... Also, I can feel some vibrations on the foot-pegs which is synchronized with the knocks... I've checked the chain as well as the chain guide however, that's not the possible cause as I've clean & lubed the chain as well as changed the tension... What I'm afraid is the clutch/gear plates.... Any help, bros??
