Extremely Difficult to Roll XS750 In Neutral

[750triples]

It’s much more difficult to roll it backwards than forwards, enough that the front of the bike ends up lifting up when I try pulling it back. Bike has no problem taking off when it’s in gear.

Jack it up. Spin the wheels by hand. Brake? Final drive? Wheel bearings? Easy stuff first.

Wheel spins freely-ish when it’s lifted, it definitely doesn’t spin by itself but there’s also not much resistance. I don’t really know how freely it is supposed to spin because I’m the new owner of this bike. Brake isn’t rubbing or anything.

Do as Jet says, Put on center stand to check cause if front pulls up, its the rear end

Same with clutch pulled in?

Tire has correct air pressure?

Disconnect the driveshaft. Easier?

On the centerstand in neutral, you’re turning the wheel, the final drive and the middle drive.
