Horrible Metal Scraping Sound - SV650.org

08-08-07, 09:26 AM

Only happens as i pull away in high revs, and only pulling away. High revvs let the clutch out and then a horrible crunching scraping metal sound as i move away, only lasts for like a second. Anyone know what it might me?

Chain slipping? Sprockets ok?

chain is tight, this sounds weird but it feels further forward then the chain and sprockets but then again it could be the front sprocket, sounds like it is on the left aswell, i thought maybe clutch is screwed but had a full service on it and it was doing it before and is still doing it.

Hi, no expert on these things but sounds like clutch to me, cos pulling away put max pressure on clutch, could be pressure plates ?

What sort of high revs are we talking about here?

6 or 7, will do some testing on the way home

How about using less revs to pull away?

Well yeah there is that, still doesnt solve what the problem is, it just hides it.

but the problem only happens when you rev it hard to pull away, metal scraping noises generally aren't good so if it's not making that noise it's unlikely to be causing any damage
