Default something grabs or jumps while leaning

Hi,

On occasion I get a kind of clunk on the left side of the bike radiating from the chain or sprocket area when leaning a bit. At first I thought I ran over a rock or small stick that caused the bike to jump sideways. Now I think that it may be something like the chain grabbing the sprocket a bit. I will double check the chain tension, but would that do it? Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks

Andy

Sounds like worn sprocket and/or loose chain to me.
