    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.

Damage from falling over

Hello, I have a 82 GS1100E, how much damage can be done to the stator and starter from a bike falling over or being dropped on its left side? Bike tipped over and now I hear some strange noises coming from that area when the clutch is realeased while the bike is in neutral. The bike shifts fine and holds all gears. Thanks
 
I dropped my bike pretty hard on the stator cover. Put a hole right into it. I assume if anything got dislodged in there you would have lots of noise.
 
Are you 100% sure that the noise was not there before? If it is a small rattle/whine then the chances are that it is coming from the clutch bearings.
 
Yeah, a lot of times I hit a big pothole or something and then start really analizing noises and stuff. That's always a mistake, cause the thing is always noisy.
 
Seems kinda weird that clutch noise would start up after dropping it on the left side. I'd take the cover off and make sure you didn't break anything free.
 
check your handlebars, and clutch lever/cable, I recently had mine blown over in the wind and it bent the bars... could be holding the clutch from fully engaging? does it lag when you really get on it?

if your cover doesn't look dinged badly enough to be bent in, maybe take it off and check it for loose parts? or it could be something altogether separate?!! how's the clutch shift foot lever?


sorry to hear it!
 
thanks

thanks

Okay I checked the clutch lever and it has no free play. I will adjust and and post the results. Thanks.
 
yeah whaen i bought my bike i could tell it took a dip the handle bar grip and footpegs on one side were scrached and the exaust had a big dent and scratches also my shift shaft was warped to crap i had to take it out cut off the end of the shift part and make a identical pieace on a lath from solid steal tube welded it back together works great
