    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.

Cam Chain?

My motor has developed a sort of rattle/faint clunking sound. Performance seems not to have deteriorated. I may have over filled the oil by 1/2 to 3/4 of a quart, could that cause it?

Also the sounds vary at low rpms on increase and decrease of throttle. Kind of sounds like my drive chain does when it gets too loose, only quieter. I was wondering if it could be the Cam chain. Does anyone have any info on properly adjusting the cam chain?
 
Clutch rattle at idle is very common on the chain drive GS1000 engines. Could the noise be that?

You know Ness, that actually did cross my mind... Would that involve new springs or something to repair?
 
Get an APE clutch hub nut. Remove the clutch basket and check the back gears rivets and springs The springs should be snug and the rivets, well, should be there. :D

Either that or try balancing the carbs first - makes a difference.
 
First determine if it IS a clutch rattle, pull in the clutch while it is idling and see if the noise goes away.
