[QUOTE="jawx, post: 1328004, member: 101189"] from what the mechanic told me, instead of the piston smoothly going up and down, the edges became worn to the point that there was play in the piston and it causes it to shimmy all the way up. It is basically piston slap from the bottom of the cylinder. There is plenty of evidence to make it believable. On my last KDX I remember hearing a rattling noise but it was no where near as loud as this. Thats why I had the bike looked at. I mean aren't KDX's supposed to be quiet bikes? From what I've read on these forums most people agree that they are just generally loud. I thought that these bikes had a reputation of being stealthy, quiet bikes... This is the stock piston by the way. Kawasaki recommends replacing it after the break in period, but who really does that? Obviously the previous owner of my bike did not. [/QUOTE]
