    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Disturbing mechanical "clunk"

After about a month of trying to figure out the rough idle on my 79 GS1000 (thanks bad points, hello HEI Mod) There is a new problem just popped up. On take off (Idle to 3kish) there is a rather loud and disturbing "clunk" coming from what seems the right side of the engine. My first guess was the clutch basket being loose which wasn't the case. During this time the bike also bucks a bit until you get into a higher RPM (above 3k) This only seems to happen when the bike is warmed up, and afterwards runs as if it has a dead cylinder. Also a notable whirring noise in the higher rpms. Any ideas?

Cam chain tensioner functioning correctly? Cam float/drift?

The tensioner was rebuilt recently, though I'll be sure to recheck that. How would I go about checking for the cam float/drift?
 
loud noise

loud noise

I had a very loud noise in my gs1100gk which sounded like marbles. after about a month I went to hit the starter and it just whirled.The bolts that held the starter gear to the stator had sheared off lucky for me no damage. It sounded like it was coming from the clutch side as it took it all apart My want to check it
