I'm over 9250 miles on my KPX and I've experienced the "clunk" up until just a week ago when I did my 9th valve adjustment and replaced the spark plug. My exhaust valve was a little tight and I think I did the best adjustment I've ever done on the valves (intake did not need any adjustment) and the bike now seems to be running and shifting better than it ever has. I can even tell a difference in how it sounds. I changed the plug because it was getting pretty gray but thing adjusting the exhaust valve spot on is what really made the difference. I'm not getting quite the clunk and it seems to be shifting better over all. I've been using Rotella T4 for most of the miles and thought about changing to synthetic but didn't think that would make much difference since I've been changing the oil and filter between 1200 and 1500 miles. I have plans to do a 200 mile loop through the mountains tomorrow and have a goal to hit 10,000 miles by next month.
