Loads of problems

[Anonymous]

Hmm, where to start? Just recently I replaced the oil seal at the clutch pushrod, I had an incident with the chain. After which I noticed the pushrod was bent. I have straightened it to the best I can, would this cause the clutch to slip or is it time for a rebuild?

I've got a buzzing or hum, usually around 6k on the tach. Kinda sounds like a bug zapper, elictrical kind of sound. Are my electrics going bad? how do I remedy this?

I used to have a miss, I think this was fixed when I replaced plugs. I only have a few thousand miles on them, about a year. I do my own work and repairs often takes longer than they should. Recently the miss has returned, also it sounds like there is a leak in my exhaust could this be part of the problem and solution?

Dies when warm. After the bike does the initial warm up it idles pretty good. When I go for a long ride, or onto the freeway it really is hot. After this condition it will slowly idle down and die if I don't blip the throttle. Is this a lean condition as the engine heats up?

Thanks for any suggestions

Opps, its an 82 550L. Haven't pulled the plugs cause I don't know the proper way to read them. Usually kinda brown if I remember right.

Hi ya ports,
The pushrod should be ok, any play can be adjusted out at the cable.

6k sonds like my 3k, got a vibration at 3 to 3.2k sounds like a bug zapper too, hav'nt figured it out yet.

The miss could be a loose wire connection, bad wire arcin to the engine or frame, especially if it went away when you first moved/played with while changing plugs.

My GS650GD idles lower too when hot, I assume its fairly common GS thing. I adjusted my idle when hot.

Hope that helps
