My 1985 VT500C recently began making engine noise. 52K miles and until recently she still purred like a kitten. The engine noise is getting worse. From inside the crankcase somewhere. Not sure which side or exactly where it's coming from. Almost like a timing chain slap, but not quite. I don't see an adjuster. It doesn't sound like piston slap or gears, and pulling the clutch does not make it subside. It's really bad at idle, and seems to go away above 4000 rpm, as far as I can tell. I stopped riding it until I can figure out what is wrong. Any help? I'm looking for a manual. -Steve in Phx. two_wheeled@hotmail.com "Bob La Londe" <usenet@diycomponents.com> wrote in message news:30ugn4F35bukkU1@uni-berlin.de... > What's wrong with your VT500C? > > > "Steve in Phx" <two_wheeled@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:fOfld.73345$G15.57491@fed1read03... >> Need to do some repairs.
