Engine noise

[Juan71]

Hi folks,
i get a metálic noise come from the engine. seems not a valve noise, it's like a noise come from the stator.
How can i attach a video of the noise?
Please, if Someone knows what could be the problem...
I have changed the stator about 3/4 years ago, all it's ok with the battery (tested with multimeter and all ok) good battery and good rechearging. i just have changed oil, filter and spark plugs.
Thinking about opening the stator cover and check what's going on in it.
thinking about the stator touch with something or something similar this.
thank you in advance for yours reply.

With the video it is hard to tell where it is coming from.

Sound can travel a long way through metal and it is hard to pinpoint where it is coming from.

You can buy a mechanics stethoscope at almost any auto supply store that will allow you to pinpoint were the noise is coming from. Or you can use a long screwdriver, put the handle to your ear and the tip against different parts of the cases to find where the noise is the loudest.

There is the cam chain drive in there, don't forget that all of the starter drive is in there also and the parts have a tendency to fall out when pulling the cover.

Sounds like something to do with the stator / starter clutch. Remove the cover and have a look. Not sure on the 1400, but the 1500 has a thrust washer on the starter idler gear which is easy to lose and can cause problems.

FWIW - I had a similar noise on a GS1150 and it ended up being the stator bolts had backed out and were grinding on the rotor.

Hi Herb, last Year a mechanic have changed the chain tensioner, he check the chain and say me the chain was ok. (opened the engine to change the gearbox - a used one, some more works came out )
gears are ok. i will try the long screwdriver tip to find from. where come out the noise.

Hi hillsy, i think this is what i have to do.
sound like something from the stator. hoping that not something with the starter clutch 'cause i think i have to open the engine to solve it. isn' t it?

Starter clutch is behind the rotor which is underneath the side cover. No need to pull the motor apart.

Thank you so much, what a good news.
