I have this audable clunk coming from my rear wheel, u can hear it every revolution or there abouts, i cant entirely pin point it but sounds like lhs rear wheel...
i can feel it through the lhs foot peg aswell when coasting with the clutch in .. cant feel it under engine braking or acceleration..
any one got a remedy ?
EDIT: ok no tight spots in the chain.. and its doing it once per revolution...

Cactus sprocket?
Wheel bearing?
Loose sprocket Nut/bolt?

Sounds spooky whatever it is -
Hows the back cog look? Got a centre stand? You could put it up on it and let the bike idle in first, then get down and have a good look/listen around it. I wouldn't ride it while it sounded like that myself.

sound like wheel bearing, have you lubed rear wheel assembly, sometimes dirt or bearing failure can cause that clicking sound.
It happened to a steering head bearing on my dirt bike once, and it made that clicking noise when I turned the bars from left to right.
I replaced the bearing and it was fine, it was very dirty, lube would proly fix it though on such a new bike though.

I had a similar thing happen on a car once, turned out to be a piece of chewing gum on the tyre! Took me ages to find it too......
