Knocking sound/feeling

Hi guys, my bike has developed a worrying knock whenever I ride it. it's fine when I start it up and when its on choke and at idle, but when I move off I can feel a knocking sensation through my pegs, I can hear it too. I've checked that nothing is loose but it feels like the bike doesn't have as much power when I'm riding. any help or guidance would be much appreciated as I'm fairly sure this isn't good.

Cheers, Nick

check the wheel bearings, lube and adjust the chain

chain was adjusted the other day and it's nicely lubed up too. I'll check the wheel bearings tomorrow before I go out on it again, I've also checked the oil level which is fine. I shall update on the condition tomorrow, any other ideas welcome too

tight spot in the chain, check it in several positions.
