hi men,
K engine lover ( i have a K1 too), and pretty happy with my 60000km k12RS, but a knocking noise appeared recently at idle when the engine becomes hot, disapearing when clutch is dis-engaged or when increasing RPM.
the bike runs well, without any abnormal engine noise when cruising.
Any clue?
thanks

This noise is almost normal at K 1200 RS engines. Proper throttlebody synchronization should help.

Maybe the heatshield at the exhaust, vibrations at these RMP
K12RS von 01/00-02/13 über 130TKM, 06/12 bis 06/15 F800ST, jetzt wieder RS aber mit einem R davor: -> R12RS (LC)

Re: K1200RS 1997 engine knocking noise
Well, i have searched with a screwdriver where this noise could come from. It looks to be louder on the gearbox case than on the engine case.
It is neat that the noise disapears when the clutch is disengaged ( decoupled ).
As it is not an engine noise, I hardly understand how a synchro could fix it.
