    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.

Singing a song...

with the help of this forum, the shim club, and basscliffs site I managed to replace my shims month or so ago. Since then at certain rpm's I would hear what sounded like an air leak. Just recently its that plus upon releasing the throttle "singing" is how I can describe it. Cam chain? I'm guessing 300+ miles since rebuild. Is this normal?

Thanks,

Mark
 
Hi,

The tach and speedo cables can make some weird noises (squeaking, howling) in the gauges when they are binding or need lubrication. The noise could just be coincidental to your recent maintenance.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
As Cliff alluded to, remove your gauges, turn them upside down and spray lubricant where the cable drives attach.
Also make certain that your cables are lubed as well.
If it persists, one of the gauges will stop working soon.

Thanks guys, wish it were that simple. Speedo is gone, went wireless bike speedo. And well the tach, that's gone too, along with the cable, hole is plugged. This one is a head scratcher...
 
My tach did that....till I 86ed the cable. Now no RPMs but no whining either
