I might give that a try ...thanksAnother way that may help determine if it's a rod bearing..
Pull the spark plugs and one of the side covers that cover the crankshaft.
Put a screw driver down (one at a time) the hole till you touch the piston.
Gently rock the crank back and forth slowly and see if one piston doesn't move SLIGHTLY like the others..
Or, pull a spark plug WIRE, one at a time with the bike running and see if the knocking gets lower/goes away... With no combustion going on, it WON'T knock nearly as hard....
