| I put 500 miles on my bike of very easy riding the engine isn't broken in until 600 miles and i pulled up to a stop light and and there was a knocking grinding noise with the clutch out and it went away when i pulled it in. i brought it to the dealer and they found that the primary gear nut had backed off the crankshaft and was rubbing up against the engine case. they put red loctite on the nut and retrorqued it and it needed a new case gasket. the bike is a 2006 sv1000s. *nm | |||
