Guys,
I noticed a weird noise coming from my 2000 200. At idle, or very, very low revs, there's a knock/slapping type noise coming from the bike. This noise goes away at even moderate throttle. The bike had single-digit hours on it when I bought it, and I've maybe put an hour on it since then.
It was making this noise when I purchased it, with the (no doubt old) previous fuel oil mix and 9 series plug. I used Amoco 91 pump gas, Motul 800 @ 40:1, and a fresh NGK 8 series plug. The noise is still there. I've already looked for rattling pipe, springs, radiators, etc.
Is this the KIPS hardware? I can't imagine a bike with as few hours as this one (that was ridden so gently by the previous owner) having a busted piston or anything. Ideas?
