clunk noise when stopping

[dano8855]

All,
I'm new to the forum as I just picked up my trophy two days ago. Bike is amazing but I noticed a distinct soft "clunk" noise every time I stop. It's not the engine, the transmission, or brakes. I think it is coming from the drive shaft?
This is the first drive shaft bike I have owned so I wasn't sure if it was ok for a little noise from drive shaft.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

I have seen comments that it may be the self locking pocket on the bike.  Some seem to report it as being noisy.

I get the same. I just ignore it. It doesn't sound dangerous. It is like the brakes pulsating when I come to a stop. Just a characteristic of the bike I guess.

You're quite right, it's the central locking on the "glove box" opening - it's locked whilst riding to discourage us from messing with it

Thanks for the info guys. Come to think of it, it is the same sound when I turn the key and the glove box unlocks.

I appreciate the help.

So I noticed the noise from the glove box too. However, after 300 miles it has a different "clunking" noise. It happened at the very moment the bike stop from braking, when the fork would move upwards after breaking. Wanting to get the first 500 mile service a bit early (at 300 miles). I noticed there was a bit of oil on the front wheel. I was called and the dealer told me they found that one of the fork seals has blown. Anyone else had this happen?

Yes.... search for fork oil seals... there is quite a thread of stuff there!
