Good morning everyone, and Happy Easter.
2001, just turned 20K miles yesterday. I just bought the bike, and did a TON on upgrades and maintenance on it. Here is my predicament...
I just noticed, at idle, I hear a knocking/rattling sound on the bottom of the bike. It goes away at any rpm above idle, or when the clutch lever is pulled in.
I am wondering if it is a clutch bearing, or a transmission input shaft bearing....
When I pulled the gearbox magnetic chip detector, it was very sludgy, and had metal shavings on it. I changed the oil with Royal Purple. I am going to check the chip detector again in about another hundred miles.
If there is anyone around that can help me diagnose, and/or have a tech day(s) to do the repair, that would be great. Also, I'm trying to figure out if is she grounded, or still rideable....
I'm not afraid to tear into anything, I would just prefer someone who might have done this before, and might have the special tooling.
Thanks!
