making a cluck noise whilst reving - Page 2 - SV650.org

does the fuel level sensor still work? my friend has a curvy and part of his had broke off and was floating around in the tank. but if it was something loose inside the tank id expect more of a metallic noise rather than a clunk...

Could be the imfamous front suspension clunk, manifesting from the fuel tank

Does it only manifest when you're on the throttle? If so it's the injectors, perfectly normal

is it while you are riding or while you are stationary or both?

it does whilst moving and stationary but louder when moving( vibrations) when i had the tankup today it wasnt making a noise and if i shake the tank it makes the noise

i think you have answered your own question... but its possible that the mounting bolts are loose or the fuel pump/parts are loose. only way to find out is empty tank of fuel and investigate.

yeah probably just seeing if any had the same problem , whats easiest way to empty the fuel tank or ill get a mechcanic to have a quick look.

anyway next question, whilst change the front spark plug i have sheared the radiator bottom bolt, any ideas or live with it
