Well my clutch is now doing my head in as it rattling like mad.
Its silent when the clutch is pulled in and is clunking when off load.

Its a 2000 Curvy at with 26.5k on. Any guess on whats causing it?

It's shagged?

Strip the entire engine. Find the CBT unit and plug it in to your phone with a GS cable. If it reads purple your clutch is knackered. Remove the CBR unit and disconnect the reg/rec. Put it all back together and use the parts left over to construct an ISPN and call your local garage and tell them you need a left handed screwdriver to recondition your clutch cable with ACF50.

I have knackered (probably) valves, bore and crank. My clutch is fine.

I was hoping for more of a reaction to the gibberish I posted. I spent a long time trying to come up with unintelligible gibberish for your benefit.

When you say "clunking" that sounds more like a gearbox issue rather than clutch. If you put the bike on a paddock stand and let the clutch out with the bike in gear does it sound the same? (If you haven't got a paddock stand you can do it on the side stand, only you will need to disconnect the kill switch and be careful not to slip!)
