2enjoi2 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 this issue is regarding a xj600s 1996. i have a strange clunking noise when i pull away and in second gear. thought it might be the chain slipping. so i lifted the back end and tried to spin the back wheel to find a broken tooth. but the wheel doesnt spin freely and makes a clunking noise as i role it round manually. i checked to see if the brake pad is touching the disc and one side is and the other is 1mm off. not sure if this is normal. i have no idea what the issue is and dont fancy getting ripped off for something that i could do myself. any ideas welcome. cheers david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
