Hi Ted,
The rearward facing plug is the "level" plug.
With bike in gear on the centerstand, it is normal to hear some clunking
as there isn't any load on the rear wheel to keep all of the pieces
pressed up against one another. It isn't a good thing to idle it on the
centerstand in gear for extended periods of time...the lack of a load
and the clunking will reduce the life of the drive train components. A
little bit for diagnostic purposes, is just fine, IMHO.

Is the nut on the back of the drive a level or a drain? With my bike up on its centerstand and the bike in gear idling, the rear drive makes some "clunky" noises. Has anyone else notice if that is normal or not? |
