Default GS500F "notorious unpredictable knocking"???

I read this in an add for a 2004 GS500F I'm looking at buying :

"To those who are not familiar with the GS500: Occasionally there is a slight knock in the engine which is completely unpredictable. From what I have read on the gstwin.com forum and from my Suzuki mechanic, this is considered to be normal. Not being mechanically inclined, I cannot add any additional details here."

Opinions?

Thanks!
