Hi guys

My SV1000 (K4) has developed a knocking sound while in motion. It's coming from the rear. I've checked the caliper and it's all fine, the rear wheel has no free play. Ain't the chain as it's brand spanking new and the noise isn't consistent, it happens randomly but is always there "...knock....knock knock..........knock.....knockknockknock...." etc. Something to note: It doesn't do it when the rear wheel is off the ground while using an ABBA stand. The wheel spins freely and has no play in it, the swing arm has the usual SV1000 play of about .5mm or so.

Suspect wheel bearings, but anyone got any experience of this or have any other ideas?
