Looking at an '89 1500 to buy
There is a loud ticking/clunking noise in front cover area
Runs great except for this. In gear alittle less,clutch in a little less
Don't want to road test
only 48000 miles well kept
Any ideas?
Enjoy

Unless you are really good with a wrench, I would have it checked by a dealer to find out what is going on. If it looks like a problem, I would pass on this one. Lots of good 1500's out there for sale.

the price ain't right if it needs fixin and you don't trust it

If the buyer balks at having the bike inspected, run! A couple hundred bucks at a dealership could save you thousands.

Thanks Guys
mechanic by trade and figure that if the price is right could be ok
Was wondering if anyone else had run into such a problem
Can still ride my 1100 so a project bike would be alright
Enjoy the rides
