hey friends,
So i was away from my bike for a week. the tank was close to empty and when i was riding it yesterday i noticed a knocking sound coming from my front wheel area.
After inspecting, everything seemed tight, though when am riding the bike at a slow speed i can hear this and am a bit concerned.
its probably a bolt not completely tightened (have to check that this afternoon)
not sure if you all have any suggestions.
figured, id toss this out there.
thanks in advance!

Does it sound like a rotation noise that increases and decreases with speed???

Could this be the full floating discs? A slight rattle at low speed is normal.
Google Motorcycle Floating Discs Rattle .

The who now? Our bikes have a conventional multi-plate wet clutch.
BTW, OP, are you sure it's not coming from the engine? Mine knocks pretty badly when hot/stressed. Not ignition knock, but metallic knock. I just assume this is the noise the engine makes when it's hot and am not worried about it.

I 2nd this. I think you hear more engine noise with the KSY full system since the Stock manifold/Exhaust has thicker walls that limits engine noise a bit. But check any loose bolts or parts just to make sure, Also if you have the time do a video so we could compare...
goodluck!

I feel like its the rotors, i only hear it when coming to a stop and at slower speeds. when the bike is cruising i do not hear it at all.
