Is this a gearbox problem?

Post by Ratty »

Nipped into town last night and noticed something wrong with the storm.

When coasting at low speed when the engine is not under load a mechanical knock/crunch sound suddendly comes from the engine and the bike jolts slightly, only for a split second.

Any sugestions?

Ratty ,
Mines done it occasionally, and my chain does have a tight spot, and is at max adjustment :cry: im just trying to get to the end of the summer with it :!:

Oil and adjustment more or less eliminates it :!:

Id try that first .
