Hey guys,
So a couple weeks ago i started getting a weird noise on my bike. It was a clunking when accelerating from a dead stop. I first thought sticky/misaligned chain so i cleaned and lubed the chain which seemed to fix that issue but then a new noise has appeared. Im not sure if these two are related in any way.

Anyways the new noise only appears when i start to decelerate and engine speed reaches ~3k rpm and continues until almost dead stop. I could be moving at constant speed at 3K rpm but as soon as i release off the throttle the noise starts. As for the noise i would describe it as a clinking noise, sometimes like the "boing" of a spring. This noise doesnt seem to effect performance or mileage but is concerning me.

Im new to troubleshooting so any help would be useful

Thanks
