Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55 mph and letting off of the gas the transmission knocked. When the vehicle was driven below 40 mph and the transmission would not knock. The dealer was contacted however the main technician was unavailable.
1 normal riding. Dealer serviced vehicle. 2 spun rear wheel bearing, wheel damage. Potential lock up of rear wheel and loss of control of motorcycle. Injury and death of rider and passenger. 3 I will have to find a rear wheel. Vehicle purchased in 2000. Per the dealer the rear wheel was obsolete.
After 17,500 miles,I heard scraping noises from the rear wheel that would eventually disappear when riding the bike from a cold start. Noticed slight wiggle when leaning into turns at 60 mph. I placed the bike on a lift and was able to move the rear tire side to side with my hands.
