Just happened,
When riding along I heard a loud bang that sounded as though it came from the counter shaft area. The bang happens when riding and when coasting, it happens with the enging on or off clutch in or not. It even happens pushing the bike, motor off clutch in and pedaling. The bang is not constant it will seem alright then bang. I have recently had the back wheel off the bike and have just remounted it after some flats. I pulled the counter shaft cover thinking it may be a chain problem (it still may be) looked OK. I pulled off the clutch cover, looked ok. When I first heard it I thought the chain had jumped. The motor does not need to be running to hear this loud bang/snap.
