  1. hello everyone, I have a little issue, I got a 1200 Black block Trophy a couple months ago from bringing back to the road, I have found at idle the engine has a Knock to what to me seems to be the left side, I rebuilt the carbs months ago and don't know if this is involved but will mention anyway on choke it sounds Fine and riding But once at idle it starts to knock in or out of gear with clutch in and out, I hope someone has an idea on what it could be or what I could be looking for

    It could be the alternator shaft coming loose. If the sound gets less or goes away when you turn the lights on that will confirm it.
