Hi guys

i post my problems here
http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=46920.0

and while i was looking the forum i found this

----------------------
A noisy tappet is a high frequency light tapping or ticking type noise while the "camshaft walking" noise is a low frequency deep thud type noise heard only at idle on a warm engine and goes away when the engine is speeded up to a fast idle and is harmless.
-----------------------------

these fit my some problems and exactly fit my problem that appears when engine get warm mine is "low frequency deep thud type noise "

so;

what the camshaft walking exactly and how can i fix it or as mentioned above is it harmless? can it  cause any major problems or power lost or fatal problems?

and still my carb problems continue on this topic

you don't need to worry about the camshaft walking noise.  The fix from suzuki is a wavy washer that absorbs/cushions the play to eliminate the noise, my 05 came this way, but the cam still had the thud, just not as bad as a non wavy washered GS.
