OK, now that I have the carb's pretty well under control it's time to get some input on the trans gear noise.
This is the first Wing I have owned 'owned lots of motorcycles' but this is thefirst Wing.
I have gear whine in all gears, not at all speeds in the gears but some noise inevery gear at one speed or another. Is this normal? I do see some posts on gear noise but not enough data to determine if it's normal.
This 1200 only has 21,000 miles on it but has a trailer hitch so it probably pulled a trailer at one time, 'I'm the 3rd owner'.
The shifting is also pretty harsh as it clacks and clunks as it is shifted. I read a post by? 'sorry I can't quote the name' about preloading the shift lever before declutching and that seems to help a lot. Again is this normal?
The clutch releases good, at least at rest as I can put it in gear with little clunking or trouble. The clutch has a good solid friction point that stays at the same location hot or cold. No air in the clutch as I have changed the fluid and bled it till good and solid with no lost motion in the clutch master cylinder.
