Hi Guys,
I have in the last few days noticed a slight Clunk on the Left Rear of Bike after starting moving. I first thought it was universals, or something loose. I have noticed this a few times but not everytime. The Strange thing is the noise is not immediate upon motion its a second or two after you start rolling. Clutch is fully engaged and either while easing on the throttle or medium hard throttle.
I have crawled all over down there and wiggle and shook everything and I have no movement anywhere. Plus while on the Center Stand. And bike in gear ( Engine Off) I have no extra play in drive train and no noises then.
I am thinking now that it may be the rear Brake Pads hanging and popping free or movement of the pads or caliper. I have noticed no brake drag at all and I am always moving the bike back and forth when I am at a long Light so I should notice the brake dragging.
If anybody has experianced this before, Drop me a line and let me know what you have discovered.
I am Buying a Lift this week to get the beast in the Air so I can see things better. Flopping on the ground like a fish is fun but the neighbors are looking at me strangely. Especially when I had 2 other guys laying on the ground as I was running the bike trying to replicate the sound.
