Rattle around the clutch area is still pretty bad after the engine warms
up so there are 2 possibilities (well probably more but 2 obvious
ones):
1. Cam chain thrashing about - tensioner seized / not working
2. Clutch back plate springs rattling around.
I took the cam chain tensioner off and cleaned it up today. I managed to do it without taking the carbs off. Bit fiddly but it can be done.
The knurled knob on the tensioner was seized so I loosened it off and cleaned the whole thing up - thanks to bwringers tutorial. Put it all back and the noise is still there. At least I have eliminated something.
Next job will be to switch clutches from my other GS1100G project and then get new springs installed on this one.
