07 zx10r with about 30k miles
Engine ran beautiful, going to work and get off the freeway. At the light the engine just all the sudden starts to knock, very loud. I shut it off and roll it to a parking lot
Tow bike home. Wanted to start it up and see where noise was coming from and did, it was knocking pretty bad and got worse when I revved it to like 2-3k.
drained oil, no shavings. Not 100% sure this is a rod knock since it suddenly happened at idle.
Seems to me like something internally let go. Engine starts right up.
Im not sure how to go about this. What should I inspect first, is there any common problems or any other people that have had similar issue.
Im thinking of just dropping the engine since its so tight in the area, I want to inspect the valves and piston and the bore.
