Quick question here. How much back lash should there be at the final drive sprocket. I am experiencing quite an annoying "clonk" when I engage first gear & I also get a bit of a clunk when I take up drive in the lower gears from overrun. If I put the bike on the centre stand & put it in first gear (engine stopped) I am getting about a two tooth turn of the drive sprocket back & forward. this seems a bit excessive. Any thoughts out there?

all suggestions gratefully received.

Hi!
I had the same PSYCHLOGICAL problem and a full check from my dealer cured it.

Have your chain checked too. Maybe it's too worn out and you 're right.
