engine noise.

it sounds a bit tapity in the video.as said get the cam chain checked/tightend.

SV engines are a bit tappity and tuppity and lumpy. Unless theres a definate rattle that exists throughout the rev range, it'll more likley than not be a normal noise I stressed for months about this tappy noise my bike makes at about 4000 to 5000 rpm. Turns out, all SV's do it, and it turns out, its the chain resonating....because when I lubd the chain, the noise went away

Your noise is just a tickover noise, my bike does it aswell. Well, when its cold and idling at 1300 rpm, until its warm and idling at 1500 rpm

Its a v - twin its going to make a thumpy noise. I shouldnt worry but if you are get your cam chain checked as part of your next service maybe?

After watching your vid your bike seems quieter than mine.

I raised a similar question here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=110804

Mine sounds pretty lumpy on cold start but sounds similar to yours when warmed up. Just the standard SV burble I guess.

Sounds fine to me , when the motor is ticking over there is noise from the primary gear drive due to the lumpy firing intervals of a V twin, this disappears under load , iin line 4s are smoother , otherwise , dont worry.
