Cycle Shop cant figure out whats wrong

[coolguy266]

Hey guys,<br> I have my bike in the shop for repairs, my bike is making a weird noise like a hyvo chain, the shop split my case and look at everything and put it back together. the bike still makes the noise, they adjusted the values, put in new clutch basket and clutch plates. What are they missing. the noise is pretty loud.<br><br>Please help <p></p><i></i>

Just don't notice it as much when my helmet is on I guess. <p>Nate<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>87 FZR 1000</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>We got clearence, Clarence. Roger, Roger.

much louder than the newer bikes. I almost think they did not tension the chain right cam chain <p></p><i></i>

Cam chain has an auto-adjuster. <p>Tim<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img69.photobucket.com/albums/v20 ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> Has anyone seen my keys?</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Dir. of Entertainment<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://eddieandthecruisersmc.com" target="top"> Eddie & the Cruisers</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>'94 FZR 1000</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

can we explain the noise any better? I'm not asking for an audio clip but a chug chug or clang clang or ...u get the idea<br><br> <p>-John</p><i></i>

[coolguy266]

the shop is looking at it and think its the gear box <p></p><i></i>

[flyingcircus68]

If you've had your cases split, that's obviously major work. have you found any chunks of metal in the oil pan? More specifically, have you had any pieces of the clutch plates or basket laying around inside? <br><br>If you have, then you might have a problem with a bent tooth, or teeth, on the primary gear and this would effectively change the modus (metric for gear pitch - just learned that today) and cause pulses to shock the gear train. I've personally found this to be a problem on someone else's FZR that had a broken basket. I ended up doing a hack repair on the gear by using prussian blue and diamond files. Obviously, that's not the best way to go about fixing it.<br><br>This could also be a problem in the gear box, if chunks of metal ended up bouncing around there. Bent shaft can also cause this noise. I hope they checked for this when it was torn down.<br><br>Don't be persuaded by the argument that these are noisy motors and all is normal. They clank a little at idle. If your rolling down the road and you hear it, it's trouble. <p></p><i></i>

[flyingcircus68]

Just thought I'd correct myself. the term 'modus' is incorrect and should be 'module'. Looks like I'm a slow learner. <p></p><i></i>

[coolguy266]

yes there was alot of broken pieces from the clutch basket and plates, the shop remove all the bits from the engine, but failed to inspect the gear box. They are doing this now. <p></p><i></i>
