Rattling engine - SV650.org

i've had my bike for about a 2 weeks now and i've started hearing a rattling on the bike...i can't say where its coming from cause its not too noticable...but im worried...my mates big ends have just gone from lack of oil...does the rattling mean my bike is a close follower? any advice would be grateful?!?!?!?!?!

yeah thats him...but 2 reasons...1st i don't wheelie and second i don't wanna wheelie i think its pointless and a bit scary lol...back to the point...the bike has stayed on two wheels so the oil pick up must have a healthy flow of oil...i've checked the oil level in the glass and its been two thirds full for about the last week...i think it might be coming from the gearbox...im not too sure yet...off to a mechanics tomorrow to have it looked at...its under warrenty so all i'll have to pay for is parts!!!!!

yeah idd maybe the sv isnt the best bike to wheelie but i also heard a lot of blown engines without wheeling there bike and then ohters that wheelie an sv curvy (2001) for months and still have nothing for probs with the oil

So when i have 1000km's ill do an oil change and iam bback on the road on 1 wheel with regulary checking my oil offcourse !

i think you just have to pay attention to the oil and to the distance of the pulled wheelies . . . i recommend only powerwheelies so you dont abuse your clutch either
