Got a loud knocking noise coming from my motor 
. It's very hard to tell exactly where its coming from 
, but if i put a long screw driver with my ear against it, its most pronounced around the exhaust flange area's of both barrels.
Is this most likely piston slap
, or could it be clutch related .
My clutch basket was badly notched so i filed it, which has given an amount of back and forward free play of the clutch plates - also there's about 5-6mm clutch drum play. I know these parts are worn and in time i will replace when funds are available, but there's no change in the noise if i pull the clutch lever in. I would expect some change in the noise level if the clutch area was the problem.
Please any advice gladly welcomed.
