[QUOTE="MCassle, post: 78927, member: 22945"] When I had first bought my 97 KLX300 (new), I too noticed a clacking sound coming from the front of the engine. It bothered me enough to take my bike to Hesperia to LR's shop Stroker. His mechanic replaced the timing chain spings, adjusted the valves, and LR actually took the time to ride my bike up & down the street listening to it ( no kidding ). Even after that the engine still made noise. LR happened to have his 365 in the back of his truck, and offered to compare the two. He even let me ride his bike (no doubt since I mentioned interest in the 365 kit). His bike made a similar noise, but not quite as loud. I ended up leaving the shop empty handed (besides the experience), only to find on my next ride the engine made noise. Imagine my disappointment after all the $$ I spent. After another 300-500 miles, the noise is gone. Not sure what the explanation is, just thought I'd reply since this is a big mystery with the KLX it seems like. I suspect the engine needed alot of breaking in, I think I had only 400-500 miles on it at the time. matt [/QUOTE]
