Xts can be noisy. You can do a check to see if there is a coonecting rod or piston problem by putting the bike in 1stgear and with the brakes on, slowly let the clutch out. If the noise increases, that bad. If it stays the same, concentrate on other areas such as cam chain tension, vavle adjustment ect.
Also if the noise is greater when cold, this could indicate piston slap.
Good Luck, Steve

hi, i recently had a worrying noise from the top end of my 54K km 4PT. Took camshaft out and noticed one of the 2 oil holes in the camshaft inlet was blocked. Blew it clear and reinstalled..... no noise now.
