    I have a Interceptor 2006 ABS, and I noticed that when I accelerate from stop, some weird noise comes from the back. It sounds as if something was catching on something else, and then clicking though. The noise disappears once I start going faster ~30mph. If I accelerate at minimum acceleration, the noise doesn't happen either. It doesn't seem like anything is touching the wheel... Not sure what it is. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Way too long. I need to do it - I ran out of chain lube, and kept forgetting to get some. I am getting some today.

    Chain adjustment? I actually did that earlier today - fixed the other weird noise - during engine breaking. But this one from the back remains.

    Helps alot to know the bike's mileage. In this case it may be time to check wheel bearings + hub bearings as CRF says.

    Could also be a chain problem, frozen links or plain just done woe out !!
