A litle more information please

Unless of course this clunk is the side stand as it returns to it's normal position

[James]

na man the side stand is up it sounds like a bearing loose but as i say the headstock seams to be fine. oh maybe its the swing arm bearings OOOPS

[cargo]

There's a number of bearings and bushes in the rear suspension any one of those could be the cause of a clunking sound.

could be your engine falling out?

[James]

well it wont have far to fall i suppose.

[masterofinsanity]

have you put something under the pillion seat you've forgotten about?

[rossd]

I think i know what you mean mate, do you mean when you pull the bike upright? mine makes a few noises when doing that

Swingarm bearings?
Rear Shock?
Shock Bearings?
Wheel Bearings?
A spanner in the sump?

Try checking these.
