does it do it when you have the clutch pulled in and is it just in first, or all the time when your in gear and off the clutch. we need some more info to help you out man.Reyd1 said:Just wondering, I was riding my bike today and noticed a knock when releasing the clutch to engage 1st gear. Don't know if this is normal or if I should risk the dealer service time for diagnosing it... Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Is it everytime you hear it or just certain times, it sound like its just the transmission meshing when your starting to let the clutch out. Lemme know.Reyd1 said:Usually only happens from a standstill. Letting clutch out and I hear a"knock" or pop from the bike when the clutch is almost out. It only happens in 1st gear. I do not hear the pop/clunk in any other gear and it happens with hard, or relaxed acceleration.
I wonder if it is from having a new bike w only 850 miles on it
The clunk is just the transmission, the gears meshing as you let out the clutch and then again in the opposite direction when you let off the gas. That is what it sounds like to me. The fact that you started to hear it more when the tire was replaced could have to do with the tightness of the chain. To me it sounds like nothing is wrong but I wouldn't know unless I heard the sound.gixxersvnfty said:it makes clunk when you take off....sometimes makes the clunk sound when you let off the throttle in first gear....sorry, my bike has 2000 miles, so it's already broken in.
it started making the sound after i had the rear tire replaced by the dealer. since then it's been making it. annoying as hell, other then that the bike runs great.
it started after your rear tire was replaced, try checking your chain and make sure your rear axle nut is torqued accordingly.gixxersvnfty said:it makes clunk when you take off....sometimes makes the clunk sound when you let off the throttle in first gear....sorry, my bike has 2000 miles, so it's already broken in.
