Hi All. New to your forum. Have acquired a 1995 1500. Last Goldwing was a 1975 1000 that I still have.
Got the 1500 cheap because of a noise. Sounds like a starter drive trying to engage the flywheel. I have remove the starter and push started the bike and noise is still there. Just finished putting it back together and of course the noised is there. Went to back it out of the garage and when I pulled in on the clutch, the noise quit. Clutch out- noise, in- no noise.
My question is, can I remove the clutch cover without removing the engine and can the release bearing cause this noise?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
John
