    noise from engine?

    Hello,

    I have a 1980 GS 850L and it runs great other than a noise that started without warning, sunded like it was cming from the tming chai to me but after checking it out don't think that is it. also i have the side cover off the right side and found that the clutch basket has some movement. How much movement should it have? it moves about 1/16 to 1/8 inch. I suspect this is my issue. I'm ordering a repair manual monday to show how to replace the basket.

    Thanks for all feedback!

      It is mentioned a few times on the forum where the clutch hub nut has come loose, mine developed the same problem. Another common issue is weak clutch basket springs.
