Hello all,
I own a 1979 gs550 that has some customization done to it and im having problems with an unfamiliar noise. When i hit big bumps,i get a metal clank in the engine or trans. It gets worse if im not accelerating or if the clutch is pulled in. I tightened the chain until it is almost solid feeling and it gets better but it still does it on large bumps. Is there any torque requirments on the drive sprocket nut out of the trans? Its notfinger loose but I cant think of anything else that could cause externally. The chain is new,lubed,and tight. Otherwise,the bike runs like a dream,and this doesnt cause any drivability problems. And just in case it matters,the bike is a rigid,streched about 11 inches,raked,and doesnt resemble anything that looks like a gs550. It is about 9 ft long. Thanks for any help you can give me.
