    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

What is this noise?

Okay Im sure this is a basic question but here goes anyways. When I start my bike I obviously have to pull the choke a bit at first. I usually can ease off the choke slowly but if I go off choke too quickly I hear lots of racket in the crankcase. It is usually happening as the RPM are low and as I bring the RPM up either with throttle or choke it smooths out. Once the bike is warm and choke is off it idles perfectly and the noise stops completely. What is causing this? Is it the clutch or something?
 
Hi,

Your bike is well known for its "clutch rattle". Sometimes new springs will fix it. Sometimes you have to get it welded. You should also check to be sure the clutch hub nut is secure. See the clutch section of my little website.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I believe the APE clutch hub nut is also a common upgrade on that model.
 
Thanks for the info. Where's a good site for upgrades like that?
