hi guys wonder if you can help me with this one...when the bike ( GL1100 1980 ) is at rest and I engage gear she feels as though it takes a slight sideways move !!! never really been a problem in the past, when I move off there is no further issues, she rides lovely and there is no further issues when changing up or down the box...it feels to me as though there maybe an issue with either the final drive tension, or something to do with the rear wheel ( perhaps cushes ). some background, the clutch plates where replaced 250 miles ago, I have checked the cush drives when wheel changed...NO issues, the shaft itself seemed in very good condition, the gearbox has always been reasonably smooth ( even for a wing )... there are new pads in the rear caliper, which do rub slightly, and finallythere is a very slight rubbing sound from the rearspindle areawhich I can't decide if it is the brake linings or a bearing seizing..
any thoughts..what is my clunk?? by the way the engine has only done 39,600 miles ( genuine )
