Default Thump !

Riding yesterday, after going over potholes, I'm getting a metal to metal feel transmitted thru my frame, any ideas?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,
Ed

Default RE: Thump !

The simplest thing to check and fix is the jiffy stand bumper on the frame.&nbsp\\; It is common for this to hit something and rotate out of its intended position.&nbsp\\; Kit a sharp bump and the jiffy stand slaps the frame.
&nbsp\\;
Also, check your fuel tank and make sure the mounting bolts are tight.
&nbsp\\;
If you feel the jolt in the bars, you may have the loose steering head bearings.&nbsp\\; Not a complicated fix.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;There are several posts on here about the remedy for this.

I'm feeling it down in my highway pegs, I'm thinking I broke a motor mount.

Gas tank is tight, will check motor mounts later today.&nbsp\\; Can't complain they held out 68K miles.
