Not sure how many pops I get before something breaks. Noise seems internal.

Additionally the motor has developed an ever so slight tapping noise coming from bottom end. The tapping only appears on steep decents mid RPM not using throttle. Bike has been great. Just hit the 2k mark.
I have just spent five minutes reversing my Templar X 250 down my driveway in first with partial using and clutch slipping to change the decent speed.


I have then stopped using brake and used clutch only and first gear to go up my driveway. Pause my speed on the driveway and go down my driveway under clutch control only.

No pops or noises or transmission issue. Repeated many times.
