Default strange engine knock

HI new on here have checked threads nothing similar.
there is a knock under load starts at 4000-5000 rpm sound is to high 4 bottom end and to low for top end probably worse once warm. I drained the oil out and it was overfilled not had the bike long should have done it straight away. I think its sounds like piston slap seems to be comming from the front left of the engine any one help?

cant really say with out hearing it mate, i would not rule out big / small end , Could be that it needs the shims checking, could be piston hitting valves also.
