    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.

Engine noise question

Engine noise question for the experts. I looked at a nice 82 GS1100 Thursday and it had a horrible sounding knocking noise cold at idle which he said went away when it got warm. He also said they all do that which is BS because my 80 GS1100 doesn't. Would you think a clutch problem which is where its sounds like its coming from or the stator/flywheel {?} nut being loose on it or ????????????Just curious, I passed on it

If he did not fix it then don't let him tell you it is nothing. Bargin. It probably in clutch or starter and there are a million threads. If it was a thrown rod you would get the "special" award for first one.
 
I know how to fix that, I did the one on my 80 GS1100 which is why I thought it might be that. You cant deal with him, he firmly believes its normal. Mine just quit working when the nut got too loose to engage the starter. It would have fallen off but there was no room for it to fall. Thanks
 
Give him a week or two. When no one buys his beater he may decide to listen to reason.
