I've noticed a noise under my '00 800 Drifter when going down the road. It usually only happens once a ride. It seemed a little louder last night on the way home. This morning on the way to work it happened twice. The noise usually reminds me of a tire picking up a stone, only it comes from what seems like under the center of the bike. This morning it happened twice on smooth highway. If I could put a description to it this morning it would more remind me of a piece of something being picked up and thrown inside the engine or transmission case (aren't noises fun to describe). The bike has 33,000 miles on it. I would guess the chain has 10K or less on it. The chain doesn't feel stiff or way loose. I think I'm going to do the unthinkable and load it in the truck to take it home. I started getting paranoid this morning thinking about suddenly having the back tire lock up in the dark on a highway.

Any suggestions?
