Firstly, hi all, im sean and i have a 2003 GS500E, ive been looking through the topics for a fix so i didnt have to repeat another pointless (if its already posted then it is) thread but no success, now to the problem, i was putting away my GS when i noticed a slight disturbing rattle from the right side of the engine, it makes the engine sound like the ducati's with there dry clutch, but not as loud :icon_lol:, any ideas, im worried that if i use my bike its going to sieze as im out for a ride and it'll be a costly job :cry:
if it is coming from the right case cover then it could be you generator going bad. They tend to make a lot of noise.
Oil level o.k.?

The generator/stator/alternator is on the left side. The pulse generator is on the right side with the clutch.
Chain slack within spec?
