Another weird knocking noise thread

So I had my throttle bodies sync'd, which did smooth out the idle nicely, and now I hear a new knocking noise.

It's a hollow kind of knock, which only happens when I come to a stop (clutch in or out doesn't matter). It goes away after two or three cycles of four or so knocks. I never hear it during warm up, or hear / feel it while riding, only after riding then stopping.

The mechanic that did the throttle body sync, said it sounds like, sorry I don't remember exactly maybe cam gear or tensioner, "walking around" and that it's normal.

2005 hayabusa, with about 3,000 miles on it. No mods. Thank you.
 
No clue, but someone with an idea should be able to help you out.

Why did you sync the Tbs at 3000 miles?

Bump...
 
My cam chain tensioner was making a ticking sound at idle after i had the cams put in. It had a pin or something to that effect that the tech didn't get seated correctly durring assembly. It was an easy fix for the guys at the shop when i took it back in. I think they just took off the valve cover and had easy access to it so it souldn't be hard to check. Good luck.
