My 850 has been in a vacuum bag for 5 years as I have been racing classic bikes. As most I have run out of garage space and could do with more room so have debated selling the Commando. It's a real cracker but I rode it this year and found it so underwhelming, not so much the power but the slack/backlash in the drive system in top gear. I can't remember now exactly but it had a spoke or two of slack/rotation measured next to the chain guard. I mate checked his and similar. Mine has new cush rubbers. Any ideas as it just makes such a clunk going into top? I would like to keep it but it just didnt spark any excitement like when I swopped my Suzuki GS750 for my first Commando. Thanks.
