I hear some knocking sounds coming somewhere from the engine. I don't know if this caused the knocking, but recently my bike is having trouble going into first gear without grinding. So now i always start my bike in first. Any help would be appreciated... thanks in advance!

The clutch is on the right side. This forum is a wealth of information but you have to do a little homework on your own. A shop manual is a must; one for your bike may be available as a download here. Second, third and fourth is read, read and read. Don't just ask questions but attempt to research for old posts on your problem. A knock could be a cam chain, valves, clutch rattle, or something else. The more you know, the more people on this forum can help you.Comment
