    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.

Need Help! Got a Noisy GS1000 Engine (Video)

Sounds like a rattling clutch hub. Do a search for "GS1000 clutch rattle" for all the info you can stand.

Nice bike BTW.
 
I was wondering about the clutch, it does seem to be coming from the left side of the engine, made me wonder about the rotor, what do you think?
 
I'll bet lunch it's your clutch. Mine had the same issue before I had the clutch hub rebuilt.
 
Many thanks 80GS1000, when taking off the clutch housing and dismantling the clutch will there be indications of the suspected problem with the clutch hub. By the way love your GS
 
Just for info it makes little to no difference when the clutch lever is pulled
 
Hi there, yep I have had the carbs balanced my friend, havent looked at the cam chain tensioner, its only done 6000miles since new cam chain and wiseco 1085 kit
 
I really appreciate all the help that has been given. I think what I will do first, is remove the clutch cover and strip down the clutch and inspect all the components as a starting point and keep you all posted.
 
I just happen to have a spare basket I have just shot a quick video showing the basket and the springs, just uploading it now be a couple of mins
 
Here is the video link http://youtu.be/N3Hmk1nkKoc there is movement in the 3 thicker springs you can rotate them with your fingers, presumably you should not be able to move them right?. The thinner springs are tight.
 
That rattling sound the springs made as you rotated them - does that sound like the noise in your engine?
 
Here Guys, I have just taken the clutch apart and removed the basket here is a short video of the backing plate and springs, presumably you should not be able to rotate the springs Clutch video . When I reassemble the clutch how do you guys stop the centre nut coming loose do you use thread lockhttp://youtu.be/RgWYzcOvQVM
