    Hey guys, i know hardly anyone will see this but i need help already with my new bike. It has this knocking sound when the clutch is let out in neutral and also while crushing or gain speed up to 3 grand. I can also feel it too.

    I have made a video to help you hear what its like. So far i have taken apart the stator cover and everything there seems tight, a few gears move but they seem normal that way. I can post some pics of the cover.

    BTW is the the upgraded stator like i was told was put on it?

    Video-


    Pics-
    Sorry about the blurriness






    Please give me ideas, cause i dont want to wait a month and waste 500 to 1000$ taken it to HD to get it repaired.

    Man I can't hear it from the video. The exhaust dominates the sound.

    Stupid ads man, I can't read all of your post. The exhaust is a bit dominating but it doesn't sound too out of the ordinary.

    While you have the cover off check and make sure the rotor nut was torqued to 300ft/pds. Everything I heard in the video is was normal, but yes the exhaust is masking whatever ur trying to diag.

    You can hear the difference when i pull the clutch in and let it out. Its a knocking.

    Sounds like clutch noise to me.

    My KTM 990 sounds like that when cold, but not quite as loud.

    So clutch is suppose to sound like that? Thats so weird. I would understand if it was a dry clutch like some loud ass ducs.

    That is not normal. My guess is either the clutch basket or the stator nut, possibly a gear behind it. You heard mine, and although the exhaust is loud, it does not rattle like that.
