My dad has an 84 big red. The other day we rolled it out of the garage to ride it around the property and we heard a clicking noise comming from the rear end. Makes no noise when the tires are lifted of the ground. It almost sounds like the universal joint but Im not sure. When your on the throttle it makes no noise, but when your riding and you hold the shifter in the down position and just let it roll you hear the clicking for sure. Its definately not the transmission and for sure comming from the drive line some where. Any sudgestions would be great, thanks. And again, when its in neutral and even without the motor running when you push it the sound can be heard.

did you check the rear end oil?

Could be a carrier bearing, or hubnut, or loose wheel?

oil is new, fresh and clean. guess we will have to tear down the rear end and inspect it. Never had one apart, is it a very technical rear assembly?
