Dropped Bike Whining Noise in 2-4 Gear

[Johnmillz]

Hey Everyone,

Took my first spill on my 1982 gs450t. I was coming to a stop and failed to see a large patch of gravel under the stop sign. As you can imagine skidded as I tried to stop and dumped the bike on its right side (I’m good was going about 5mph). Anyway upon starting the bike back up and riding home I realized there is a whining sound when I am in 2-4 gear. I’m assuming maybe I knocked a these gears slightly out of place during the impact. But I do not know for sure curious to get everyone’s opinion.

Thanks in advance,
John

It sounds like it...? I recently dropped my 1981 GS450T (I presume basically the same bike since it was a 2-year run) on my knee - There was no damage or change to the bike other than me realizing my gas cap leaks (yay me?).

I hope you're doing okay and landed safely. Just at a standstill, that 400lb of aluminum, steel, and plastic felt like an elephant stepping on my leg and put me on crutches. Stay safe and good luck, hope it's an easy fix!
