Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem?

I was riding in 90-95 degree weather around town and I noticed the fan running all the time... which was nothing strange... but then I noticed when I gave my bike a good half throttle blip it would knock (sounds like small pebbles being shaken inside of a metal can) real bad so I let off and just cruised the rest of the day. No other problems... just that one.

Any ideas why it's doing this?

sounds like a ping, run 93 octane or higher fuel. I usually run a "GOOD" octane booster in the hot ATL summers.

yep, sounds just like mine. I think the motor sounds different every time I ride It. I gave up on it if I hear a knock, ping, bang, boom, whatever. Just keep riding.
