knock in gl1200A
I have a 1985 gl1200a that knocks in fifth gear when applying gas to it. After riding it for about seven or eight miles I notice the knock in lower gears. It has good power,oil light out,water temp middle way. I'm thinking if rod bearing it would knock all time. Any input will be welcome.

Re: knock in gl1200A
More history please. A knock could be from lugging engine, letting fuel set in tank for months at a time, carbs dirty. Sorry but lots of reasons. Help please.

Can you localize the knock?
When it is knocking, if you turn the choke on, does the knock diminish or go away?
