Thanks! That sounds very plausible I'll give it a go - fingers x'd

Hi Could anyone give me an idea of where to start with getting to the bottom of this terrible noise that has started whenever I select 5th Gear?? I have a 98 XVS 650 Dragstar, all other gears are fine and there is no loss of power either. Was told I was selecting 5th too early??? tried higher revs and makes no difference. Could it be the Gearbox bearings? I'd like to know before I take her off the road and start stripping it down, as she is my daily ride. The gear selectection is fine, oil, filters etc all changed. Any advice would be great Cheers Ultravixon - newby today!! Love the Site
