Hi, I'm really glad to have found this forum as my Mechanic retired a few years ago and have tried a couple of backyard mechanics as my bike started to have problems, only to have made things worse. I have now decided to try things myself even though my knowledge of mechanics is limited at best. So I come to whoever is willing to lend a hand and many thanks in advance for any advice given to me. So here it is... I have a GL1100 (1981) with 100700 kms on it. I brought it to a "mechanic" recently and on my way back home from him, I noticed that when I would lean the bike to the left, I suddenly heard a grinding noise as though it was coming from my transmission. I'd straighten out and it was gone. I got home and called him up. He told me that when he verified the engine, my transmission seemed to be "a little used up" as he put it. I never had a problem with the tranny before that and I don't loose power to the rear wheel when it's making the sound. I also find it odd that it only happens when I lean left. Can anyone help me out on this one?
Thanks
David
