10-07-06, 12:24 PM

the bike is a SV650 -01 with 18000 km on the clock.

when the bike is on idle speed and I´m pressing or releasing the clutch handle the engine sound is changning.

the sound is that when you release the clutch handle you can hear a kind of grinding noise. this noise dissappears when you press the handle.
it is not much noise but I hear it and I don´t like it.
I suspect a bearing. but which?
could it be the bearing behind the clutch basket?
which other bearings are affected in the axial direction on a SV??

does anyone have had the same problem?

thanks
