Driveline clunk

Jdbiker:
These arrived in the post today from Partzilla ( thanks Alan👍) in less than 3 weeks. Total including post was $283AU. Have been feeling and hearing a distinct clunk when engaging clutch and when accelerating and de accelerating. With the bike on centre stand and in 1st gear wheel has about 2” free travel. With a longish ride coming up in a couple of months I have decided to change out the U joint rather than take chances. Will pull off the swingarm this weekend , will know then if this was needed or just a pointless exercise 😳

StinkyPete:
When my "U" joint packed up, I felt it as a buzz through the footpegs, which changed as the bike went over undulations.   See  http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=10046.25

Jdbiker:
Thanks for that Pete. I did read through your post on the subject earlier, hence the reason for my concern, don’t like the prospect of a blown drive line in the middle of nowhere  :eek. I haven’t experienced the buzz you describe but the clunk doesn’t seem normal nor the excessive free travel.

West Aussie Glen:
Shall be interesting to see what you find. How many kms has your bike done?

Jdbiker:
Almost 90k, will post what I find  :like
