Hello, so just recently I've been hearing some odd sounds coming from my bike as I slow down. It's a clink/clank not VERY loud but noticeable by the rider at least. It only occurs if traveling ~35 or higher, and only while slowing down. It's a multiple ' clink ' sound every time I downshift a gear and also happens just when transitioning from acceleration to de-acceleration with the engine engaged (clutch out). Performance-wise, everything has been the same. I haven't had any "actual" problems, just this sound that is starting to worry me. Has anyone heard of this before?
I'm debating taking it into a shop and seeing if they can figure out the problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
