    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          I am on SOHC and have posted there as well without any responses. The thing I wanted to ask is this. In Neutral, theres no noise or anything...nice smooth engine as good as gold. Put it in either Low or Drive and it gets that renowned clatter that I hear its famous for. The question is should i see about replacing the two bearings that are in the oarts fiche for the torque converter or any other ideas??

              mine did the same thing and made the same sounds in gear.
              local honda dealer told me not to worry...many many moons ago.

                My brain simply has a hard time accepting that Honda said...well that grenading sound is ok for the bike and noone will really mind if it sounds that way. Just doesnt add up to me..theres got to be something worn or out of specs here.

                  I should also note that once she off and running theres absoulutely no noise..just at a light while holding the brake and its idling she sounds like shes gonna grenade any minute.

                    sounds right going off of memory.
                    in gear sitting still....knock knock knock.
                    in neutral quiet.
                    going down the road quiet.

                      Is this the clatter you are talking about?

                        Yup your memory is crystal clear on that...its the god awefullest selling point anyone would accept at a test ride back in the day...least if i got on one and it did that i would probably never buy a Honda. And if the dealer gave me that reply I would demand they refund me the purchase price and take a taxi back home.

                          Yes thats the clatter....god awefullest sound. Like a few big nuts and bolts being slammed off the walls of a coffee can.
