Thanks, Phil.

Definitely [2015 model, Centa drive presumed]. Especially noted when 2-up (ie an extra 400+lbs weight!). Mostly noted in hard acceleration (dumping the clutch) from a junction, and noted as 1 or more sharp bangs associated with lack of progress. Dealer was meant to tighten it up on the 1st service but I found the situation was not improved. Seems quite slack now so I probably need to slacken some bolts, raise the rear, and try readjusting...


Dayum...how'd you get a 400+!pound passenger in next to you?
