I have a new sound, I have not been able to isolate it.
When starting out I am hearing a thump or bump from the area of the rear tire. It sounds like the kickstand popping up into position, but both the side and center stand are secure and the springs are holding well. I hear it mostly when starting out and it speeds up consistent with the tire speed.
I don't feel anything with it. I put the bike on the center stand and manually turned the wheel and didn't feel anything tapping or binding. The wheel clears everything under there. I then ran the rear wheel in gear with the engine and don't hear anything unusual, so it seems to be only when the suspension is under stress?
Any suggestions helpful. I am taking it in for routine maintenance and new chain/sprockets/and lube and adjust next week, but this is concerning me now.
Thanks
