    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.

Hi all I have a gs 550e 1980 with 13000 km on clock bike spending much of its life in Italy it's in very good original standard condition which rides very well but I have one issue with a slow knocking noise on tick over The noise seems to go when the engine is revved a little should this be a concern All thoughts great fully received Many thanks neil briscoe
 
Strange just started bike again seems to have gone now I'll leave it tick over for a bit see if it comes back
 
Hello mate bike has warmed up a little and the slow pulse like knock it quite apparant and yes if I lean the bike towards the kerb side it seems to go Thanks for your thoughts
 
Which part of the engine is the noise coming from? If it's tricky to detect use a stethoscope (a bit of pipe is a decent substitute).

and did pulling the clutch in make any difference?
 
What was your theory on the noise going when the bike is lent to one side
