New Bike With Engine Knocks

From day one, the engine in my Svartpilen has had a knocking sound. The sound is most evident below 4,500 RPM while under a load. A sound that has the characteristics of a low RPM rod knock. Since my dealer is over 300 miles away, I have no way of verifying if this sound is normal. There's two hundred miles on it now, and I'm wondering if this thing is ready to "buy the farm" and leave my stranded.

******************Edit to ask. .Is this normal? I'm not familiar with these engines
