Another place that can develop judder or knocking on these clutches is the rivets on the drive gear , they become lose and can cause judder or knocking.

Remove the bracket that holds the cam in place with bearing and 
it holds the rocker guides in place too and stops them spinning

De-compression cam closed

And open , when open it activate exhaust valve 
so there is no compression build up when first starting 
at a certain rev count the centrifual weight will fly out and 
operate de-compressor cam to the above position, compression will return and bike with start.
