Message: [QUOTE="Patrick, post: 539285, member: 28813"] Read my thread on "KIPS rattle in new 220". It sounds like the the same thing I'm hearing in my bike. When you take your top end apart for cleaning, advance the "main shaft" forward half way. Then put your finger on the "Flapper valve" located in between the subvalves. When I did this and felt the amount of play at this position, it was obvious that this was the source of the noise, since everything else was within spec. I have heard that this is normal. My friend's brand new KTM 300 EXC rattles like this also. [/QUOTE]
