Ok so i put a 2010 800r in a 2007 rev and kid rode about a hr and now as engine idles down it starts knocking.Doesnt do it every time Sounds like pto side bottom end to me but when i had apart to put new Rk tek dual ring pistons in bottom end felt tight.Engine has about 850 miles.No sign of grease coming out of seal.Did just do rollers in clutch as they were wore right out.Havent had time to really tear apart yet but any suggestions would be appreciated.I am gonna pull clutch off and try to see if noise is gone.Doesnt make any noise as you rev it up.
Thanx Bob T

Are you sure it's not clutch noise? If the rollers were shot, I'm guessing the arm pivots and likely the buttons and o-rings were getting worn also..?? They are typically gone before rollers. I almost always do the entire Maint Kit, it is not much more $$ than just rollers and contains all the wear parts.

My 09 xp always had a weird knock when idleing down. It was right around the 5000rpm if i remember right. It had 4200km when I sold it and still ran strong!
