Feel Like something is in my tire at slow speed.

[skyjake]

Yesterday, I put around 100 miles on my bike. While doing so, I notice at slow speeds (decelerating from maybe 30-0 mph) feels like something was in my tire. I could hear and feel a faint popping sound and I could feel it in my peddles more than I could hear it. I alternated breaks and seemed to do it with or without breaks and didn't matter if I used front or rear only happened while slowing down. Only happens during deceleration and not while acceleration. Loose Chain cause this? Motor, rpm's, shifting, all seem normal. I checked my tires and they appear to be normal and pressure it good. Chain, to be honest, I don't know how to check that one.

Any ideas? In advance, thanks....

Thanks,

look carefully at the tire and see if there is anything showing, if not check your chain for a bad link. Roll it thru and look for a link that stays kinked. Is the chain rusty or clean?

I felt something like that once. I had a big screw stuck in the rear tire. Is that a Hawker 800 in your avatar?

is it your exhaust popping?

does it happen if your clutch is pulled in when braking?

If you don't test positive for sticking link (it stays kinked while others flatten out) past the rear sprocket, I'd roll each of the tires through looking and feeling with your hand for imperfections in the tires contact patch. Sometimes defects go past the eye but can be felt with your hand.

Is there anything stuck in your rotors or calipers?

Thanks for the things to check. Still haven't found it. Maybe try a little more diagnosing tomorrow.

Any thoughts or ideas, please keep them coming.

Sounds like a shot chain to me.
Try this:
Check your chain freeplay with the sidestand down.
Then rollthe bike a few steps forward, get the sidestand down and check the freeplay again.
Repeat again and again until the whole chain is checked.

If you notice that the chain is stiffer-has less freeplay in a certain position, than in the other position checked then this is whats causing it
