Is it something to worry about? I just noticed it today. I recently changed the chain and sprockets. The rear wheel stopped turning when I pulled in the clutch and started again when I let the clutch out. It only turned slowly for a few minutes and eventually stopped around the time that the idle slowed.

It's nothing but a bit of mild friction in the gearbox making it turn slowly. you can stop it turning with the touch of a finger.

perfectly normal Thumbs Up

Thanks everyone, reassuring.

Unfortunately, while the wheel was turning, what do I see go by? A screw head... I must have run over one on the way home yesterday. I checked the pressure, 11.5 psi. Ah. There goes my afternoon.
