Well, I still have no idea where to go with this one. i'd hate for it to be the rod bearing.

we pulled the bikes out yesterday and had the intention of going for a ride. got her bike warmed up and rode it around the yard. worked great. wife got on the highway, throttled it up... and it fell flat on its face. So. looks like the carb is coming off. again. this has got to be the easiest carb to clog up i've ever seen. even draining the bowl does no good.
Instead of both of us going for a ride, wife took my KLR out for a 45 minute ride to clear her thoughts.

Since I have to take the carb off again, I may just drop the whole engine and do some exploration to see about this noise.... but it wont be any time soon. working two jobs is rough.
