Dragstar 400 drive shaft. Clicking sound that sounds like it come from the rear wheel. At first I thought it was time for new wheel bearings. But then I noticed if you put it in nuteral and let coast no noise. Pull the cluth in no noise. So I don't think wheel bearings anybody got any ideas?

Ray it would be worth having your driveshaft checked out.
It has a universal joint on it with needle rollers. If they dry out they can start to break up and cause a clicking sound. A relatively simple repair job - so long as you get it before it flys apart.

End fix was change the needle bearings and rear wheel bearing first Mechanic was wrong. But she purrs like a kitten now.
The first mechinic was a real disappointment and worse of all one Ihad recommended never fails they atart tog te some farraang v busienss adn it goes the threr heAD. waited eight day siad he couldnl find rhe parts. Should juast said I donlr want to do it.
Second mechanic had the parts in 20 Mins.. on the road again three hours.
Thanks yuo guys were a great help as always.
Got an intersting suggestion from the second machanic. I really like the 400 just underpowered for passing. He say he can convert to a 750 all new parts for 40K.
I have worked with this guy for two years now a he always delivered on what he said he would do. What do yuo guys think, means new piston and a new head.
He a said about week to do it so I assume the engine will be sent to Bangkok for a boar job.
Sine I have spent two years getting the bike the way I wanted it, it legal, sure is temoting to give it a try.
