Not supposed to thump like that... >:(
12/10/05 at 04:10:43
I hopped on the bike the other day after it had been idling in the driveway for about a minute and started to drive off. As soon as I began to move there was a decidedly noticeable thumping that started. Almost like something caught in the wheel. It feels like someone is hitting the frame of the bike repeatedly with a hammer.
I didn't have time to mess with it that day, and I left in my car. The next day when I got on, it did the same thing. Taking it slowly up and down the street, I found that the knocking increased as the speed did, and it was less pronounced when I had the clutch engaged. WTF? I haven't the slightest clue, and Ive been to busy to work on it since then, but if any of you know what it could be, don't be shy. Thnx.

Did you run over a squirrel or something that got caught in the wheel?

if you do not see any rodents stuck in the wheels or rocks in the drive belt - pull the front pulley cover and see if this pulley is loose - it will act like that - knock like big time when rolling and lessen under power.

I had the same thing happen to me. Scared the heck out of me when it happened. It turned out to be a small stick stuck in the drive belt.

There are indeed no rodents protruding from the spokes, so I looked and the belt and found there were a few sticks in the back sprocket.
When I find out why there is no current in the electrical system, I'll take it for a ride to see if the knocking is gone.
