Hi, Folks.
Hoping some one can point me in the right direction. Recently I have noticed a "clunking" sound and feel when starting up from for example a red light. It only occurs in lower gears (1st & 2nd) and only under load (acceleration). It seems to come from left side just inside the shifter. The bike clutches and shifts fine, accelerates fine, but clunks and jerks a little. It is quite audible and I definitely can feel it.
The bike has only 12K miles on her, engine runs great, valve clearance exactly at nominal, carbs synched with Morgan Carbtune, fresh oil (Valvoline 20W50 for motorcycles), everything works great. It doesn't pop out of gear, there's plenty of power, no slippage, I haven't done a compression check, but everything checks out.
But before I park the bike (my only bike) and start tearing it down and splitting the case, etc., I thought I'd ask you folks what you think and what you would do in this situation. If there are things I can do or check before I shut down my riding season, I would really appreciate it!!!
