Rich,

Have you checked the clutch throwout bearing? The V-700 probably has the
old style caged ball bearing, which if it lets loose will make all kinds
of noise, especially if you happen to be squeezing the clutch lever thus
helping to grind it to bits.

Hi,
Well now that I am on the road with my V700, after the bike warms up say
after about 4 miles when I pull in the clutch lever I can feel a metal
clunking sensation and here what sounds like metal flopping around in
the
transmission. I know I will need to pull the tranny but if any body has
had
 this problem before maybe give me some ideas on the problem and the cost
to
 have it repaired. I guess I should add when the bike is cold it doesn't
make the noise, listening with a screwdriver all sounds normal.

Thanks,
Rick
