We got it all cleaned out it seems and changed the oil and his bike has been great since.

I know that sound well  as a travel buddy lost a bearings in rocker arm in Baja. Nasty sound.
Took it apart and little ball bearings all over. His ride was over, no spare parts. He got a ride back to US border with friendly Canadians (pick up truck). All good.
Great up date, THANKS!
Ride safe, Hope KTM's can make it! (BABY OIL? Serious?)
