[QUOTE="Humai, post: 77156, member: 17287"] Mark, If the clacking noise is power-related (that is, it increases with throttle), it is probably piston slap. KLX300s are known to emit a mild piston slap sound when powering on at lower revs. It is perfectly normal. If the sound is not related to power, it could be caused by a loose timing chain. I have heard earlier KLX250s make this sound prior to the auto adjuster taking up the timing chain slack. I have not heard a KLX300 with a loose timing chain however. Get your dealer to show you another used KLX running so you can compare sound intensity against a reference. [/QUOTE]
