Re: Ratteling engine noise GSX 1100 1981 only then cold

Hi all of you Im KZ?s brother (whit the rattling noise in the engine), thanks for all your replys.

Phil, no it?s all the time when it?s cold and I dont have a have a starter chain.
As I can understand I will continue drive the bike as it is.

All the GS's I have owned made some camshaft noises when cold. Some more, some less.... Sounds like a staccatto (spelling?) noise, like a train on rails. It comes free with a GS; enjoy it! 8O

Welcome Hans! Another European on the Forum! Hope to hear more from you in the future!

Lyssna inte f?r mycket p? Slowpoke, han snackar s? mycket strunt att han inte vet n?r det ?r allvar eller inte.....

Tjena biker66,

Kan ligga n?t i det, men han har ju absolut flest inl?gg.

Om du syftade p? "tranny" har jag listat ut att det ?r v?xell?dan, han mailade mig faktiskt och f?rklarade.

Du som har h?llt p? en hel del med GSX:er...

Vad tror du sj?lv om rasslandet?

?r det bara att k?ra vidare och se glad ut?


Not to worry Scotty, just asked him a bit about your personality...


So much easier to write in Swedish, the problem is that the replys are a little bit more limited.... :roll:

Sound can be deceiving and it echos. I had a rattle once years ago and it ended up being in the tranny.

Jon,

Thanks for your answer, but I don't understand the word "tranny" could you explain to a Swede please?

Sorry to take so long to reply but I've been busy as heck at work lately. Tranny or transmission is what I was meaning. Forgive me, I'm just a poor Lithuanian lost in Canada...
