    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cam Chain noise - GS1100GK '82

hi guys,

need help, i have a noise when idle and the tensioner is moving, when i accelerate it disappear and the tensioner stabilize.

so i serviced the tensioner, and same status.

so i check the 20 pitch length, as describe the manual, and the cam chain is under 157.8 mm. but I could see the cam chain is DID 219 FTS.

There are my questions:
The limit length for this cam chain is the same as the manual standard?
Do I have to worry?
Can u give some recommendations?

thanks guys
 
I follow the steps from bwringer and seems to be working for me... This is why I don't understand
 
It's very unlikely that your cam chain is worn out, so I wouldn't worry about that.

As Tom said, make sure that the tensioner can push out but can't be pushed back in.

If the tensioner is working correctly, the main thing that comes to mind is that you need to synchronize the carburetors so that the engine will run more smoothly. If the carburetors are not synchronized, the engine will be very noisy at idle and will smooth out at higher RPM.
 
thanks bwringer,

how can i synch the carbs? i saw an expensive tool to do it, is there an other cheapest way?
