Re: problem with k5 sv650 PLEASE HELP
You could also check chain tension. I believe that would give some issues. Im sure YC will be along soon with his guru ways.

Well change oil then, that won't help.
Also check external shift mechanism is all nice and free moving (shifter and linkage), clean the crap off from round the shift rod.
