Well, I have found the cause of my noise! Clearly the previous owner had an issue with the kickstart gear, both look new but on closer inspection there are shards of metal stuck in the clutch basket outer gear teeth.

I've taken the basket and primary gear off and just rolling them together by hand you can hear the nose as it hits the damaged teeth. 

Has anyone managed to clean the gear up to cure this or do I need a new basket / primary gear?

Thanks, I'll give it a go!

Just an update to this, didn't get anywhere with trying to clean up the old basket.

Fortunately found a complete clutch on ebay for £50 and it was local so collected this morning, fitted and the bike is now lovely and quiet, just a slight rumble at idle with the clutch out which is totally normal. Super quiet with the clutch in and no knocking when pulling away.

Thanks for everyones help.

 By the way, that too was a normal problem with the Pro motor. I have seen that with a new bike during it`s first day. Nothing really to do with the previous owner, besides his comments during the sale. Have fun!

Biffsgasgas is full of it... He has also has major log on problems for the past few months and is just trying to survive in life so he isn't really that concerned about oni nou. He would probably share a beer with that person at some point in the future...

 

Yea that was my first video. Its normal. Ride and have fun.
