99 Gearbox Knock

My 99 R1 has a knock from what I think is the clutch. It is only when I'm releasing the clutch pulling away that I can sometimes hear a knock. It sounds like a tight spot in the chain however the chain is brand new aswell as the sprockets. The clutch doesn't slip or anything and performs perfectly. As I said, it just makes a knock when pulling away. I've noticed if I slip the clutch more and gently'ish pull away it doesn't do it. Any suggestions would be helpful cheers.

Still after some advice, thanks for your time.

did it start when u changed chain and sprockets? yes.. then look no further than them....no then maybe a clutch issue.:hellobye

No I've only noticed it recently. The chain and sprockets were fitted in jan. The clutch feels fine and there is no performance issue with it. If I slipped the clutch longer then I normally would then it doesn't knock.

yes ive got a 99 plate and this does it aswell so is it a common thing that these do as i dont know only had mine a week!

have u checked ur cush drive rubbers? because thesecan cause noise and snatcheyness is worn, hope this helps

I haven't checked the cush drive yet no, didn't think of that. They would be the original rubbers in there too so could well be worn. Would it cause a knock though. It is a very distinctive loud knock. And it'll only do it once pulling away.

that would b the time that u get the most shock on the cush drive and depending on how much play theve got could make quite a knock at pull off

nothing to worry about... this is just how it is... mine 2 and everyone i know

if it feels like a miss (most common in 2nd gear) when accelerating hard, the dogs are worn. 2nd connects to 6th vie dogs and because 2nd is used so hard and was never made real well the dogs wear out, this is normaly between 50,000- 75,000km, if this is the case it WILL GET WORSE AND WORSE, feels a lot like a very short slip of the clutch. at first it only happens once when you select the buggered gear, after a while it will start happening all the time, until that gear just becomes un-usable. to get it repaired in the shop you will normaly need 2nd & 6th replaced and a shift fork, which becomes stuffed as 2nd smashes 6th against it every time it 'jumps'. i had to have this done myself. (about $1200) mainly labour.
