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.

Hi guys can any one help with my 79 GS1000L that has a clutch chatter on idle, whats the cause, is it a worn needle bearing or something else.
Cheers Tony :?
 
Could be your clutch springs, idle too low, carbs slightly out of synch.....
Quite a few little things can give you the rattle at idle.
I synched my carbs and adjusted the idle and my rattle went away, even with 40,000 on the stock motor
 
Loose center nut or worn out springs in the backplate if your carbs are synched allright.
 
Hi Guys thanks for the replies, had the clutch apart checked backing plate springs, they have been replaced with heavier ones, I know my carbs(vm29s) are out of synch so I will get them right and see what happens
Cheers tony

That should do it, I have some room around my springs and get a rattle if I go below 1100 rpm so I keep it a little higher untill I take care of it. And I love my 29's! :D
 
clutch chatter

clutch chatter

I had a similar problem on my 78gs 1000. There was a noticeable rattle when it idled on the sidestand. No rattle when it was on the centre stand. I think it was caused by the oil depth covering the clutch when it was upright,and it sounding loud when on the sidestand because the oil was all on the left side.
Check this first. The springs on the clutch plate all rattle a bit from wear-I don't think it is serious, but it sounds like it is until one figures it out.
