    GS1000 Engine Resonating?

    Anyone have experience with their GS engine resonating between 2000 - 2500 RPM? My GS1000 is resonating enough to vibrate the hell out of the GS1000S fairing which I removed and then found the resonating sound is still there? It "sounds" like it's emenating from the lower LT side of the engine near the Generator cover. I touched the cover while it's in the buzz zone and I do not feel anything vibrating . . . Carbs are synched

      Have you popped your gen cover to see if anything internally is coming loose?

        Hi,

        Have you checked to be sure the rotor bolt has not come loose?


        Thank you for your indulgence,

          Hey Steve,

          While riding my 1000 the other day I took note of a resonance frequency at 2500 rpm like you mentioned. It wasn't noticeable to the point of being bothersome though. My old 850 had a similar issue and the steering lock post in the ignition switch assembly would vibrate annoyingly until I stuffed some grease in to damp the noise. I think it's an in line for cylinder engine thing but the magnitude varies.
