I don't know if this applies but, I was QUITE worried about the same sounding noises. Over on the RANDAKK(spelling?) site, i read a post that said my gl1000 has THREE chains that combined can give sound effect of all hell breaking loose inside at idle and generally it is a characteristic of the bike, as long as it goes away when bike is in gear and under torqueHello everyone.Thanks for all you hepl in the past.Now I have another problem.
Seller said he was told it could be front bearing in alternator.It's a rattling noise
like something loose.At first start-up,but at idling you don't hear it.Tack therpm's a little and you hear it.This bike has only belonged to two people.Me being the third
person.Bike was purchase new by first owner who put over 160,000 miles on it.The
person I purchased from was having health problems.I am not familar with this type
problem.If it needs an alternator,I can deal with that.No problem.But should I be
looking for some other problem?Thank you in advancefor your help.And I hope
all are having a great day,James
