    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.

Carbs working great!!!!

Hey everyone I got my bike back from the guy that was doing my carbs for me and it runs great.. he told me that he can hear the timing chain slaps when it gets revved up is that somthing I can do on my own... I am pretty good with tools and figuring stuff out I just wanted the opinion from someone that has maybe done it. And he told me that my fork seals are leaking how big of a job is that?? If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated, I think I am ready to dive into some of this stuff on my own... Thanks for your help..

Same noise I have.
you might investigate the chain tensioner.
if it is an automatic tensioner, http://www.bwringer.com/gs/camchaintens.html
 
These motors tend to develop some sideplay on the camshafts. If you have the valve cover off try and slide the camsafts sideways and if you hear a knock that will likely be the noise.:confused:
There is a thread on how to have some "thrust half moons" machined into the upper cam bearing caps to take up this play and silence the noise.:)

Apparently some riders have had the noise for years and it is more of an irritation than actually causing problems.
On the other hand it may be your chain, but you could measure it as per the manual and the cam chain tensioner is easy to replace so I would really look at that first and follow bwringers excellent tutorial and change the seals and o-rings at the same time while it is out.
