It rattle in all gears,special in 5th.Its sound like someone is hammering the engine.
I have drive friends 05 and 08 xtx and they didnt make that sounds,also i dont get it why i cant pass 160km/h and reaching that speed is very hard,even down hill.

I would be taking your bike to a mechanic before something big happens, OK I see you are a mechanic, you should have the skills to diagnose the knock?

I would not ride the bike if the motor had a knock you could be causing further damage.

Its hard to locate exact point where sound comes,cause its transferring all over the engine,but most probably comes from the front side of the engine head(right behind water radiator).

There is one more thing,when i check valve clearence i notice that right exhaust and right intake valves were on low side of factory specification(intake 0.09mm and exhaust 0.16mm) and left exhaust and left intake valves were on high side of specification or even more,but i didnt bother to reset valves cause were not so much out of specification(intake 0.15mm and exhaust 0.20mm).Is it possible that cam bearing is damaged.
