Engine noise

[Steve.f]

I'm a bit concerned about a knock mt 1150 engine has, iv'e serviced it and done the rocker end float and valve clearances. when its cold it sound so sweet but developes this knock when warm. i'm a time served mechanic so i know its not bigend or anything to serious. the bike runs relatively sweet but i wondered if the throttle sync at idle might be the cause, i'm in manchester so if theres anyone local that could listen to it that would be a big help.

I cannot believe the difference in my 1150 now iv'e fitted the new left hand camchain tensioner, i must admit i had my reservations that the mod would make such a drastic chance in the way it sounds but hey what do i know.
