At high idle the bike sounds like there is sand in the motor and when I drive it the bike knock/pings as you get down the road. I'm afraid it will leave me on the side of the road so I don't go far from home. I haven't even got the bike past 45 mph. I wouldn't in fear of my life. I have changed the old and put all the proper oil in the engine. I did find some flakes but the oil wasn't that bad. I think this thing is going to seize up while riding. I did ask them about the ECU and the customer care woman on the phone told me the bike was too new and it has the latest ECU flash. I guess I'm going to sell this junk online as scrap. I'm out over $3,000 buck.

You don't have a lemon and it's not scrap. You should upload a video of the noise so we can atleast hear it. The engine will quiet down as you break it in. Everything you've said is normal within spec.. I have 600 miles on my kpx and iv been running 90 ethonal free gas. Every once in awhile I also get a slight ping. Ecu has been sent in already.... it's normal. These are small thumper engines. They're going to sound like a well oiled sowing machine.
