Sloppy?

Sloppy?
My 2011 Deluxe has this feel like a car with bad u-joints. When back off on the throttle then accelerate there is a slight delay/clunk sort of thing. I thought something loose, axle, swing arm; okay. Adjusted clutch. Still there. Really notice it shifting I don't think I have described it well as it is hard to describe. Thoughts.

Belt tension is good. Just adjusted in process to install new tire. I'll check the other two but I would think they would be very obvious if either the engine or tranny was loose. It almost like the engine catches up like when you would ride your bicycle down hill and your pedals would catch up with the speed of the bicycle.

I may be wrong, but I think those rubber isolators are on the touring models. Check the primary chain tension also.
Back ion 2011 or 12 I road tested a new blackline to see if I liked it. During the roadtest I felt exactly what your feeling on your bike. Like a car with a worn rear that has to much backlash. At the time I had a nightrain and never had that feeling on and of the throttle, but I felt it immediately while riding that Blackline. Hope you find the problem.
