I’m having some issues with a used KTM RC 390 I have purchased, a knocking/tapping sound has started to occur inside the engine and I'm just hoping to get some suggestions or recommendations on how to diagnose and resolve the problem.
I have included some details below and I'm happy to provide any additional information necessary, just leave a reply or send me a message and I will respond with the requested information.

- The noise is not there while the engine is cold, you can only hear it when the engine is warm.
- The motorcycle only has 5300Kms on the odometer.
- The ticking noise is in time with the engine and the speed of the knocking increases with the RPM.
- There is no change in the noise while holding in the clutch or when it’s in gear.
- The engine oil has no metallic flakes, shavings, pieces or sign of wear.
- The cam chain tensioner has been replaced and adjusted with no success.
