Hello, first time posting in the forum. I recently purchased a 1987 K100 RT with 29,000 miles on it. I went through the fluids on the bike because it had sat for a couple of years before I got it. Once back together, I've been using it to commute to work each day - mainly highway riding. The bike makes a pretty good rattling sound at 2000 to 2300 rpm as i accelerate through the gears. I have tried to eliminate usual rattling sources (bike stand, fairing, and the like). It sounds like a timing chain rattle in a car. Is this a possibility with the K bikes. Thanks for the help!
