I just had a new rear tire installed last week, now when I'm starting off I hear a clicking noise from the rear? HELP!
What should I look at.
I would check the rear brake caliper...make sure it isn't loose. Maybe they didn't tighten the bolt? Check that.
Check the brake pads, make sure they're in the correct positions and not loose, etc.
Check the axle and make sure it isn't loose...or too tight, etc.
If all that stuff checks out ok, I'd pull the rear wheel off and make sure everything is ok with the cush drive rubbers, and that the hub drive is seated properly in the wheel, although I doubt this would be a problem. They would have had to remove the large snap ring to disturb he cush drive, and there'd be no reason to so during a tire change.
One of the local shops here recently ruined a set of rear wheel bearings on a motorcycle after tightening the rear axle too much after a tire change. Between that at the common TPMS damages, and rim damage, just about anything can happen during a simple tire change.
