Post subject: 75 cb550 thunk sound
Archived from groups: rec>motorcycles>tech (more info?)

recently I bought a cb550 in cherry condition. Needs very little
cosmetic work. Just a little bit of rust nothing I can't take care of.
But it does make two annoying sounds. The first sound happens when you
go over a speed bump or hit a small pot hole. It sounds somewhat like
a thunk sound. But only when the forks or rear shocks need to
compress. I cannot recreate the sound with me pushing down and trying
to compress the forks or shocks. The other sound is a barking sound
when I engage the clutch into first from a dead stop. Like the clutch
wasn't fully grabbing and then snagged the gear. Any ideas on how to
fix, what to look at, or what is causing this would be appreciated.
