The Thunk is the lash in the drive train due to a momentary loss of power . It's going to be worse on a Kawasaki because of their strange obsession with primary drive chains instead of direct gear drive . My money is on the side stand switch . Can I have Lt Uhura doing the uncomprehending face this time please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James in Brum Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Rob I think you are right. In the stress of being at the side of the road I think it was in gear and on side stand when I tried to start it. Maybe the issues causing initial breakdown and it not starting are unrelated. will ring the place in the morning, they already think I am a aTit.
