[ST] disturbing noises - how worried should I be??

[Brian Mathis <bpm+Lists.ST-RS@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK - here's my situation...

I've never really had much cause to roll the bike around while not under 
power. I recently did a significant amount of jockeying toys around the 
garage and as I was rolling the Sprint backwards, I heard a fairly loud 
'clicking' coming from the rear-end. As I experimented around I found that:

1) The clicking seems to be inconsistent in terms of frequency
   when rolling at a constant rate (walking speed)
2) The clicking is heard rolling forward as well as backward
3) The clicking volume seems to be the same forward or backward
4) The clicking is not detectable even at idle engine speed volume.
5) I can hear it when on the center stand, engine off
6) I tried getting rolling to about 20mph and killing the
   engine - I cannot hear the clicking in this case.

Aside from this clicking noise, I've not noticed any problem (vibration, 
shaking or other noises) coming from the rear-end.

Any thoughts?? This is spooking me a bit with just one month to go 
before my first multi-thousand mile trip....

-Brian
