Engine Tapping Behind Clutch - Page 3 - SV650.org

Right, well, if it was mine... I'd weigh up the cost of splitting the engine and having a root around inside, with the cost of a new engine, and then I'd ride it as it is. If there's something drastically wrong with it that'll destroy it some day, well, chances are it's not economic to repair anyway with a used motor being fairly cheap. And the chances are it'll not be a problem anyway. So I'd cross my fingers and ride on, I reckon.

But, that's just my opinion, wouldn't want it to sound like a recommendation

Sorry to be a little simplistic. Its not something like one of the bolts on the clutch come loose and clipping the inside of the clutch cover? Before splitting the engine, id check everything simple 1st. Do you know anyone that knows about bikes that could give you a second opinion? What could be worrying you others wouldnt wouldn't think twuce about. Is there anyway of recording the sound? Sometimes theset hings work.

There is no difference when the clutch is plulled in, I checked.

The mechanic disassembled the clutch at the garage, found no problems.

Yea I can record the sound, ill figure something out tomorrow and PM you.
