Mine does the same thing. Clatters for a while, then it just goes away.



Runs great, so i don't sweat it.

Re: Motor knock
the exhaust valve(HTEV) is notariously loud ticker. when it warms up, it may get quieter.

Usually cam chain is quiet when cold and makes noice when warm

If it isn't the exhust Valve in the collector, I think it's the begining of the end for your motor.
