    GS1000 Clutch

    Hi guys I have just finished building my GS1000, the clutch has a rattle which disappears when I pull the lever in, also the front ends vibrates when I let the clutch out at standstill, are the two things related and as the engine hasn't been run in a while is it possible clutch is just a bit sticky? Cheers Wayne

    The rattle could be the big him nut coming loose, or could be the springs in the back of the basket are shot.

      Cheere mate, I'll strip clutch down to have a look, could a knackered clutch cause front end vibration? Cheers Wayne

        Dunno, but probably not without some other malady, such as loose motor mounts or something.
