Hi, Newb here again. I have had my 2009 C14 apart doing tires with my new changer and got back an ecu today. Had bike up on stand after lubing splines, installing wheel and brake plate and caliper. For whatever reason decided to start up and put in gear to view rotation of rear wheel and check brake operation. In low gear at idle it has a pronounced clunk. With stethoscope it appears to be back by the drum and not in the drive shaft. Looked all over the internet and found some with similar problems and a lot of varying opinions of what to do or even whether it was normal. When bike is not running and spinning wheel by hand it
does not clunk and doesn't seem to have any play. Will wait to hear what you folks have to say before proceeding and could quickly pull wheel but not much to go wrong in there that I am aware of. Not that I am not capable of a dumb move. Oil in final drive if that's what it is called is new and full. BTW, I am being as careful as possible while running in gear on center stand in pretty controlled situation in my shop. Stethoscope on drive line area would indicate the noise is coming from behind that. Thank you. Also, I am having trouble finding stuff searching the archives. I promise I will eventually learn my way around and not post too much in the future.
