| Exhaust i doubt, cause the sound is metallic (not steel / steel like but more alluminium knocking type) and comming definatelly from the engine (front).
The bike was in service to change the rear eccentric hub and the sprocket flange which were complettely knackered and the back wheel was almost blocked.
The first thing i noticed when i took it yesterday was how freely and smooth it went and of course this noise i haven't heard till then.
In service i put them to grease the throttle cable, the throttlebody linkage system and to check the water expansion tank which was leaking.
Because they removed the airbox, i assumed they probably forgot to fit an air filter (BMC) so i checked yesterday. Hopefully everything was in place, only the top cylinder air funnel is moving and doesn't have an o-ring
