help. My new zxr 14 has been playing up and the mechanic cant seem to find to find the prob. It happens... and only when the engine is hot ie, been out for a good run. The engaging into first gear from stopped as i slowly let the clutch out there is a clanking type of sound from deep within the engine.. (gear box, clutch, clutch springs related i dont know. It doesnt do it when the engine is cool and has just gone from a to b.. but certainly does when it is hot. Its a horrible sound. Has anyone experienced this with their new ninjas ???

can anyone shed light as to what this prob may be

before I go into deeper investigations, can you check if the clanking sound comes from the rear chain.
When exactly happens the sound: when you engage the first gear? or when releasing the lever (at the begining, half, end?)
