Help Banging Noises! - SV650.org

30-01-09, 11:00 AM

I've had a quick search but cant seem to find anything on forum or t'internet hoping one of you kind chaps can point me in the right direction,
Basically I have a 02 Curvy and noticed a slight noise in 1st gear so I changed the oil and adjusted the chain which was a bit loose. but it has just got worse.
When pulling away in first and second gear it sounds like there is something banging around in the gear box. Its not noticeable in 3rd 4th or 5th (But it might only be masked by road noise) Engine runs fine ( no probs in neutral) and performance isn't affected but it does seem to be getting worse. Changing gear seems to be ok but it has always been tricky to get in to neutral some times. The bike was last serviced about 2 months ago and has done 30,000 about 2000 since last service.

Would be greatfull for any ideas
