R18 ROCTANE
Hi everyone,
I own an R18 Roctane. Today, after finishing my ride and turning off the engine to park, I was pushing the bike back and forth manually when I noticed an unusual noise that I’ve never heard before.
It’s a pretty loud, repeating "clicking/thunking" sound coming from the drivetrain/rear wheel area every time the bike rolls. It’s loud enough to make me feel quite anxious about riding it.
I’ve attached a short video of the sound for reference. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or does anyone know if this is a normal shaft drive/clutch backlash sound or something that requires a dealer visit?
Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
