Got a SV650S K3 with 13900miles on it.
Over the last few weeks I've started to hear a dull knocking sound from the crankcase. Didn't think too much of it initially but now everytime I'm on it, it's all I can hear.

Apparently when the K3 was made Suzuki got the tolerances wrong on the crank & a few have suffered bearing failure & a huge repair bill!!!!!!
Needless to say it's now booked into Cupar for 15k service & to sort the problem.

Anyone else had this???

Coincidently it's also in this months 'BIKE' magazine!
