    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.

today while i was riding on my street i heard a noise when downshifting to first ..
after the noise my throttle was really jerky .. while i was eccelerating smoothly the bike was not .. when i got home i sat in the driveway
and shut it off then started it back up .. the bike was making funny loud clancks when putting it in first just sitting ! when i tried to move the bike sounded different and stalled ..
any way .. i looked at the throttle cable, where you can adjust it between the engine and carbs, and the bottom bolt was off the tread and sitting around the inner cable so i threaded it back up
any way after that it was riding perfectly again..... WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY QUESTION ... why the loud clancking when shifting into first ?
it's gone now but is that related to the trottle ? or am i missing some other problem that might come back ?
 
My thought is that this effectively tightened the cable & your tickover was up a few hundred revs. They all seem to make more noise when you engage 1st at a standstill at higher revs.

I could be wrong though... :D

Dan :)
 
thanks although

thanks although

thanks for the thought
the noise was occuring before i tightened the thread ?
 
any other thoughts ?

any other thoughts ?

any one else have a diagnosis ?
 
The cable would be tighter with the bolt loose if I understand correctly. This would increase idle rpm.
