id be checking the flywheel bolts, as its so common for them to come loose, especially if getting a caneing, sounds exactly like bottom end knock as well.

seriously mate, the bolts can come loose, the flywheel will still be attatched to the crank as the bolts cant come all the way out, but it will knock like a bastard, if you were that nice to it and after a couple of trips it started knocking that bad, I wouldnt be putting my money on a fucked motor, otherwise it would have knocked from start-up, from what you are describing.
did the motor come with a flywheel? if so did you check the bolts? if not did you locktight the bolts when putting them in?
