Any good Honda mechanics in or around Leeds
Nurse Julie:
Don't forget, if you are not used to these bikes / engines, what you are hearing could be totally normal. Does the clunking get quieter above 2k RPM ?

It does get quieter as speeds up I will check if it goes above 2k rpm, but it does sound very loud to me anyway! Just I remember when riding a matchless back in the day my mate got a Honda dream which was very quit compared ;D and the gold wing I borrowed for a few months was quiet too ;D ;D

These bikes are no comparison to a Dream or a Goldwing...a million miles apart in fact.

First thing to do, especially if the bike is new to you, is a full service, ok the vac gauges are not cheap but depends on how long you are going to keep the bike.
They do clatter and bang at tickover unless all sevice items are spot on and sometimes even after.
Cant think of anything particular that would cause your noise, these engines can do phenominal miles if oil and filter changes kept up.

Hi Yes I agree did a full service when I first got it oil change, filter. brake master cylinder rebuilds, helicoiled all stripped threads, carbs, etc
Engine sounds fairly sweet when in neutral, just when I put it in gear the clanking starts (on paddock stands). Not actually run it on a road yet due to DVLA losing my paperwork for a month costing me £25 for duplicate V5 then original paperwork coming back to me from DVLA in post day after. Will get it insured soon and try it out on road as its now showing as taxed DVLA web. >:(. Hopefully it wont break down on test drive. Just trying to get it right before riding it. ;D ;D
