I noticed this the first time after my Lesotho offski.

When I sit down on the bike it takes my weight, but if I lift myself up and sit down a little harder, the bike bumps, as if something is hitting something else.

So I went over the bike to try and see what was causing it, but I just cannot see. All I notice is that the chain is touching the front top chain guard (Photies). Maybe one of you with a KLR can post a similar pick of your bike while it is standing on the side stand. The chain does seem to come off the gaurd when I sit on the bike.

As always, any advice is welcome!
