starter gear??

[Patch]

Hello all....

Well it has been a while since my last....

 

I've had some time to spend in the garage of late and, I tackled front suspension, again. Sometime back I swapped springs, but I hadn't much time to ride and when I did I really wasn't happy. Last Saturday early morning I trimmed my extensions, and by feel alone I set them twice then buttoned it up and spent the rest of the day in the mountains; I love it, finally!

 

As some of you know I did quite a bit of work on it last spring, happy to say her power is still up and again very pleased now with her overall performance.

 

Now I seem to have developed that rattling noise, and I seem to remember that this was a known issue as a loose starter gear?? Is that correct? Or do I have my Ladies mixed up, again?

I think it would help if you give a little more description of which rattling noise and under which circumstances you hear it. My 89 rattles for different reasons, the cold rattle from the loose parts in the exhaust crossover, the dash rattle due to a broken tab. various rattles depending what kind of crap I put in either the saddle bags or the trunk. we won't even discuss the voices rattling inside my head...

Thanks Kic, your suggestions hit the mark, it turns out that the noise is coming from the collector, also as you mentioned usually when cold!

Well at least not something I need worry about for the foreseeable future;)

 

I rapped up all the little nuisance items, even compounded her, put the key in started her up and.... blank monitor(:

 

Got to love the sport;)
