xtz660 clunking
 

hi there is quite a ramdon clunking while turning over the bike when its running its not there does this sound like the starter clutch if anyone else has had this problem what caused it? the bike is being restored at the min after being sitting for a year or so!!

thanks for your help

Perhaps the bearing in the startercover is dead?

sounds odd that it should just be on turning over. my 97 660 was doing it all the time when i brought it and it was found to be a lose crank nut acommon fault with the 660s so im told even with the tab washer bent over they still work lose so need to be threadlocked and re tightened and thats it no problems since.
