Thought it was Paul, had the same system fitted to my old GSX1100 hacked the end off it to get a bit more noise out of it. :lol:

okay I discovered that one of the exhaust sprocket bolts a little 6mm item had unscrewed itself and eventually it came out far enough to lock the camshaft against the side of the camchain tunnel
take a look at the damage

end result the camchain snapped
and judging by the damage there was more than a knocking sound I will bet there was a loud bang then silence
but You pays Your money and take Your chances
overall it is not too bad
I do have lots of engine spares particularly Z1000H
so it back to stripping the rest of the motor and start removing all that grime and paint
