    Clutch sound on sxv 550

    Hi

    My bike sxv550 08mod run 6400km
    Is it normal thet the clutch make sound when it is in natrual and l push the clutch-handle in, then it make a (rasle) sound. But when l let the handle out again it is no sound of it.

    And another question, is when l drive and l give full trottle is feels like the clutch spinning before l feel power after a little time, l hope the cluch is ok it only run 6500km, or is the cluch weak on this bike.

    l am a new owner of this bike, and hope my english can be understand thanks.

    The rattling you are hearing is normal.

    The clutch slipping is not.
