I don't know if I have an issue or a feature with my 17'RS, which has only 4000km on the odometer.
I noticed a noise (more like a metallic "knock") when I let it roll down a short slope in my parking, so I switched the engine off, and listened while riding at a very low speed (walking pace):
"click, click (short pause) click click (short pause)..."
So I put the bike on the center stand, hand spin the rear wheel, and I get two clicks (knocks) per revolution (non equispaced). It only makes the noise if the wheel is spun forwards, not rearwards.
It seems like it's coming from the transmission. At least is coming from the front end of the chain, and not the rear sprocket or hub.
Any ideas? I am thinking on the slipper clutch.
The bike runs great otherwise.
