    79 GS1000 trans gear noise

    Hi, I owned a 1980 Kawasaki 1000 LTD in the past and I can't remember hearing any noticeable trans sound. On the 79 GS1000 I can defiantly hear the gears whirring, esp. at low RPM's. The trans shifts excellent so is this normal? Thank, Doug

    Never noticed a transmission whirring noise.
    I do NOT want to start an oil thread so i WON'T ask what kind/weight are you using but i would at least check the level.

      It’s probably the front sprocket that you hear.
