Interesting sound. It could be wheel bearings or the final drive or it could be something simple like the brake pads rattling. I remember mine making a similar noise and it turned out to be nothing to worry about.
Maybe take the wheel off and run it and listen. One trick I do is take a long big screw driver (in this case the longer the better)and put the handle on the bone just behind your hear and touch tip to one side of the axle bolt and then the other side where the castellated nut is and maybe the caliper and see if you can isolate the sound but be careful please. I normally listen to engine sounds and not spinning wheels.
I take no responsibility if you stick that screw driver in the wheel and it goes flying.
I haven't listened, having learned long ago that recorded sounds are nothing like reality when diagnosing automotive type noises. but I will offer this - running the rear wheel in gear while off the ground does result in various pops and bangs as the backlash in the gears and driveshaft rock back and forth against each other. My advise is to shut it iff and rotate by hand in and out of gear, and rock the wheel to see where the slop is. HTH, Steve

So are you saying this is normal? I did rotate the wheel in neutral by hand today, and did find some slop in one place that is probably causing the sound. Is this the bearings or the final drive?Perhaps a definition of "slop" would be good here. Side to side, for and aft, rotational. A hitch in the giddyup, a pot that catches, or moves more freely? Lots of different diagnoses are possible with the information provided thus far. All we can do is guess at things, so far. It may be that you should be offering up a person in your area an adult beverage and/or some grilled pork or beef muscle to come over and listen to what you have going on. And it appears that there is something going on.
can't say I'd call it "normal", but I'm more prone to think it's emanating from the brake pads, as the rear rotor looks a bit rusty. The pads can be getting "tapped" by the runout in the rotor, and by the rust spots.
I don't assume a wheel bearing, but it could be the dreaded wheel hub splines needing lube, this is the hub in the wheel, and oten in the past people don't see that the splines are all shot, it needs to be disassembled to see well.
oh, that's an ugly coolant leak you have in video one.....
Sounds like the rubber in the cush drive is old and shrunk a bit which means nothing is wrong. Take it apart . It is the only way to tell and then show us as you go.
How old is this bike and how many miles? Mark
''fairing antler is snapped''
a few good bumps and the rest of them will snap to, you been lucky. or unlucky i should say.
It started when my right side broke, after riding it like that a while the rest of them broke to and my fairing almost fell off, I found a welding shop that does things like welding on farm equipment - trailers and spray rigs stuff like that and they welded all 3 of my fairing braces, so fare so good.
So would I have to replace it?
I've been doing a ton of work on this bike: water pump, fuel petcock, countershaft seal, now I'll have to be pulling the rear wheel for this, and today I just discovered that the right side fairing antler is snapped and I had been riding that way for a year. Never bothered to pull the plastic and see why it was rattling...
This bike is literally a rolling demonstration of every potential problem that can affect the Concours.
