I have a 1985 K100 that I bought a few weeks ago. It seems to run well, is powerful and smooth and the engine is quiet at idle, acceleration and cruising speed. When I decelerate it makes a rattling knocking sound and as soon as I put a bit of power to it the noise stops. I saw a post about this from a guy from Europe a few years ago but haven't been able to contact him. The manual says that noise would be rod bearings. Has anyone else had this problem and? Can you change the rod bearings without removing the motor? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, DOug
