Default Knock, knock or paranoia?

Have a 2001 curvey with about 25K on the clock and been noticing that when I slow to about 4500 - 5000 revs can feel some sort of light knocking through the pegs. If I up the revs all is fine, should I be worried or am I just being paranoid?
Cheers

I've actually got some vibration coming throught the pegs myself, pretty much across the entire rev range though.

It wasn't there before, but I definately have been feeling it in the soles of my feet & my ankles for the last few days, although it is slight.

Mines a K6 with almost 14k on the clock btw.

Maybe she's just getting nervous in anticipation of the summer months...

This has to be one of the most gramatically confusing Thread titles I've ever seen

Chain and clutch adjustment might get rid of it. I had on mine from time to time, nothing major to worry about.

Probably chain but also sounds like the engine is about to stall.

Interesting.

I get a slight, I dunno, ticking or rattling noise at about 4-5000rpm. Doesn't seem to be so apparent with more throttle, as the engine roars more. I don't think it's a problem as such.....
