Hi all!
First GS ever and actually first motorcycle for me as well, some of the last owners turned this to a Cafe Racer. I have played with car engines but not with motorcycles.
So i bought this bike at "won't start" -condition. Thought i just have to clean carbs and adjust them. Turned out i had to change both intake valves. But now it is starting and running, at least somehow, still need a little adjustments on carbs i think.
But to the question i have. In video you can hear that strange "hissing" sound going with the RPMs. Sounds almost like washer was loose and resonating or something, but is this normal sound or should i be worried?
Also, could it be chain? I took valve cover off and checked timing, it was on point, chain did move about 2-3mm when i grabbed and tried to move it up and down.
Chain guide between the tensioner and chain was a bit worn out but not broken, could the sound come from there?
Here's the video of it.

Just let me know what you think. Thanks already.

Buddha,
Don't exactly know what happened in the engine but they both were a bit bent and light was shining thru a lot when i showed flaslight in where carbs should be. There were 0 bar compression in both cylinders.
I bought new valves and grinded them to their own positions. Now there is about 6,5bar on both cylinders.
You have a hissing noise in that poor audio and its from the engine ? Start with the basics. Intake vacuum and exhaust are the most likely spots for air hissing noises to occur, and a bit of metallic engine noises also would escape and maybe that's what I am hearing in that audio.
Cool.
