I'm new to your forum so hello all. 
Anyway I'm fishing for possible answers to a problem that has recently developed on my 1992 650NTV. It has some characteristic noises but is a great reliable bike for it's age and has never let me down. Recently though I get a characteristic sharp crack noise when decelerating in first (only happens in this gear and no other). It is sporadic sometimes occurring when I let out the clutch whilst changing into first to slow down. Sometimes the noise occurs if I accelerate in first and then slow down without changing gear. It seems totally random but only happens in first. No other symptoms are present (e.g. it doesn't jump out of gear). I've had a mechanic test ride it and he said he didn't hear anything particularly worrying but I don't know if the problem occurred in his test ride. Could it be gear-lash? Any thoughts would be gratefully received. Many thanks.
