I'm experiencing a chucking / shearing sound when in 5th gear. It only happens when the road is bumpy or has undulations. As the bike moves up and down the noise shows up.Sounds pretty awful while at hwy speed. Has anyone had this happen to them? Sounds like the trans is about the go. Thanks in advance for any insight. All the Best,Malcolm DukeHurst,Tx.

thanks for the quick response. but not being mechanically inclined where or what is the rear flange bearing? is it part of the shaft that goes to the differential? would be costly to replace by a mechanic? Thanks,Malcolm Hurst,Tx.
