    Default Good news

    Had a scare yesterday, when I was heading to work, I heard a clunk when I took off. The back started to wobble up and down and side to side. Parked it back in the garage until today. I jacked up back wheel and everything was stable. Turned back wheel and felt a drag in one spot. I thought, oh no, bearing's bad. Then I noticed belt not meshing into sprocket teeth. I looked closer and found a tiny stone wedged in between teeth. Pried it out, and away I went.

    Glad you noticed it before it became expensive.

    I'd say your Guardian Angel is watching over you. That could have been very expensive had you not caught it.

    Good catch. I thought maybe you left the kick stand down. Tom

    When I heard the clunk, I thought it was the transmission. My driveway is cement, so I'm not sure how it got there.
