[align=left]My name is Mike. I have a 86 gl1200 I bought a month ago and since then I guickley noticed that it sounds like all the pistons are rattling in it when I'm running down the road. it sat for four years in a barn and the man I bought it off of said it ran and road perfict when he quit ridding it. I had a bunch of work done on it including having the carbs redone and tuned. the rattle will quit when you let off of the gas and when you give it the gas. but when it planes out it will start rattling agin . the bike runs smooth and I can't feel any vibrations. I had a compession test done and the cylinders put out a 175 psi each. showing that the cylinders are good. the bike looks new and it only has 18,000 miles on it .any one that might know or have a idea on what it might be. please let me know. Thanks Mike[/align]
