I did the old handle of a screwdriver to the ear and the hard end to the case in different places and didn't hear anything unusual.  I will pull the cover today and test for wear on the mains. I am starting to wish I had lots of money....and buy new. But, there would be no challenges in that.

I will have to stick with the screwdriver for today.. With a more powerful kick leg and a bailout from our treasure, maybe the ATK 700 Intimidator?

500freak:
if its a metal rattling noise it might be piston slap. i have a dt 400 that had a rattle. it sounded like someone was tapping the jug with a hammer lightly. i rode it all summer like that, then i rebuilt it and found that was the noise.

Mine has a sort of light knocking sound too. Every KX5 I've heard has the same noise.
