So I had this clucking noise from the motor since yesterday, rode it today and on my way home the sound just got drastically worse and I was getting worried.
at first I thought it's the timing chain, and I'll sort it out towards the weekend as I'm commuting with the bike.
Anyway, on my way home it got so bad that I had to stop. Sounds like there is something seriously loose in the engine.
It can be the gears cause it still have drive, but the power started to cut-off bit by bit, so then I just stopped and arranged for a bakkie to pick me up.
There's also no oil leaks.
Anyway, What could this be?? Need to sort it out asap, and have no idea to whom I'm gonna take the bike... Suzuki south is a bunch of palookas.
Any other DR650 guru's around? Want to take it to a reliable DR specialist. ???
any info would be much appreciated. I'm in Durbanville, Northern Suburbs.
(and no, decided not to sell my DR)
