Remove the muffler body and shake it. If it makes a rattling noise, the welded baffle piece inside might have come off.

I think your friend has been smoking some real good stuff

Your KVF400 does not have a cetrifugal clutch! Instead, it has a plain CVT system where the drive converter squeezes on the belt as the rpm rises.

The first step is to find out EXACTLY where the noise that you are hearing is coming from, exhaust, cvt, engine?
