I just bought a 03 SV650S, and everytime I change from neutral to first gear, I can hear a loud 'crack' sound no matter if the bike is warmed up.

Is it normal? Thanks.

And also the front brake doesn't feel good. I can't feel there's enough initial bite. It's like everytime I brake, I really need to pull the brake lever in hard, otherwise the bike just doesn't feel like to stop. The brake fluid has just been changed, and the mechanic said there's still enough brake pad left.
