What's that clickin noise?
Thought I would run this by the collective mind before I start tearing into things.
My SuperHawk is making a light knocking noise for a few feet when leaving from a stop under moderate acceleration. Sounds like it's coming from bottom left. Can't hear it at idle, or when revving, or under way. Also can't hear it while loading the clutch with the front brake locked, and lugging the engine down, so I'm guessing it is drivetrain.
Chain is adjusted, but near the end of its life and reaching the replace-me adjuster marks. Other than needing more regular adjustments, the chain doesn't appear to be defective.
Is it likely the sound is only the old chain clicking on the stock front sprocket?
Thanks for reading.
