**********************************
The
following
noises
may
indicate a
mechanical defect:
a.A rolling
"rumble"
during coasting, accel-
eration,
or
deceleration. The noise
increases
with
rear wheel speed,
but
does
not increase
with
higher.engine
or
trans-
mission speeds.
Diagnosis: Possible wheel bearing dam-
age
b.A whining noise that varies
with
accelera-
tion and deceleration.
Diagnosis: Possible incorrect reassembly,
too little gear lash
Insufficient gear lash
is
extremely
destruc-
tive
to
the
gear
teeth.
If
a
test
ride
follow-
ing
reassembly indicates
this
condition,
stop
riding
immediately
to
minimize
gear
damage.
c.A slight
"clunk"
evident at
low
speed
operation. This noise must be distin-
guished
from
normal motorcycle opera-
tion.
Diagnosis: Possible broken gear teeth
A
WARNING

riding
immediately
if broken gear
teeth
are suspected. This
condition
could
result
in
a
locking
of
the
shaft
drive
assem-
bly
I causing loss
of
control
of
the
motorcy-
cle and possible
injury
to
