    recently I bought a cb550 in cherry condition. Needs very little
    cosmetic work. Just a little bit of rust nothing I can't take care of.
    But it does make two annoying sounds. The first sound happens when you
    go over a speed bump or hit a small pot hole. It sounds somewhat like
    a thunk sound. But only when the forks or rear shocks need to
    compress. I cannot recreate the sound with me pushing down and trying
    to compress the forks or shocks. The other sound is a barking sound
    when I engage the clutch into first from a dead stop. Like the clutch
    wasn't fully grabbing and then snagged the gear. Any ideas on how to
    fix, what to look at, or what is causing this would be appreciated.
