By clicking on the button way down there called "Manage Attachments", go find your picture, then click "upload". You can close that window and you'll see your picture above the "Manage Attachments" button. Submit reply, and you're done. It can't be done from "quick reply", so "Go Advanced" or "quote" first.

It sounds like the bevel gear bearing may be gone.

Thought I'd give this a try to see if I had to reduce the file size to 97 kbs as it says in the Manage Attachment agenda or if uploading a larger file would do so automatically. Here goes.

Yes, check out the bevel angle drive. Also, your disc brakes can cause a dragging sound. Also, make sure nothing is dragging on the wheels.
Is this with the bike in neutral? Engine not running? or with just the clutch pulled in while its in gear with engine off?

I’d pull the drive shaft. Sounds like worn u-joint.
