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. :mad:

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)
