I saw on another web site were a person was hearing a knocking sound comeing from the engine on his 1994 Magna. Figured I would share the info. on it with you in case someone has the same problem.

Some additional info..
I have a '94..
Yes it sometimes Knocks at idle..
When Honda did the TSB-1 work on a '94 (Which they would only do for 10 years, so if it was not done by 2004, they would not do the work for free), they were supposed to put a punch mark after the S/N on the neck.. I've NEVER seen or heard of a '94 with such a punch mark...
My '94 has something over 80K miles on it, the mod was not done as best as I can tell, and the engine still runs like it did when I got the bike with ~20K miles on it.. It burns no oil, and I would not say that I baby my bike (at all!!)
When I bought my Magna the idle was set at 750 RPM and it idled fine at that level.. I increased it to 1K RPM per spec just in the thought that more oil will get under the cam caps at idle at stop lights and such..
