Anyway... Blind mini round about, looks clear, roll in slowly, old duffer shoots out in front, anchors deployed and THUD-THUD from the bottom front of the bike (could also feel it through my seat). I was too busy using 'sign language' at the driver to think much about it at that point, but later found a nice empty bit of road and tried again. Up to 60, mirrors, shoulder, anchors away THUD-THUD. Same 'double tap' noise, heavy thump through the seat and momentary rev jump. And thats it. I was able to keep riding it as everything settled in a split second and seemed none the worse. Very odd.
I'm not a mechanic, nor do I claim to be that way inclined. But in my mind it sounded and felt very much like the clutch slipping or gears disconnecting some how... Certainly something to do with getting power from the noisey bit through to the rubber bit at the back (see, I can talk mechanics!).
Just wondering if anyone else has heard/felt something similar under heavy braking - If you can explain in similarly technical langauge to what I've used, it'd be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
James.
