A stator won't cause a knock. The front sprocket you took off for the primary chain will if it wasn't tightened correctly....especially if you put a thurst washer behind the bolt and not to space the sprocket out correctly on the end shaft.

Got a good clamp load on your rotor? An old rotor that has been run without a good clamp load can knock. Check the splines for wear and there should be NO wiggle when loaded. Did you replace thr rotor too? Lots of aftermarket stuff requires shims before and after the rotor. Sam.

Very cool. Glad you got it fixed and even more appreciative that you came back and let us know what the deal was.
