I don't think i am meant to have a bike this yr  I have a problem with the GS now and wondered if anyone can help me figure out what i have done. I went out today, it was fine but then when i came home i was too chicken to wheel it into my yard so i parked bike, left it in gear then asked hubby to get it up the step for me,he gave it a push and said  oh,you left it in gear, so he knocked clutch up and let it roll hard backwards thinking it was in neutrel but he had knocked it in to 2nd gr and as he rolled it back quick firmly it jarred the bike really hard and then since then it has made a funny noise when we pushed it in the yard It makes the chain vibrate too so my mate thinks it might be something to do with chain drive or something like that??                                                                                                                                                                             

Dunno what you done hon but I hope its not terminal ... 

Lesson 1 tho ... never let him touch your bike 

Seriously hope its ok                                                                                                                                                                              

Perhapse hubby doesn't want you to have a bike. you Can't diagnose over the phone you need to go to the doctor                                                                                                                                                                             

Check the chain is on the sprocket front and back                                                                                                                                                                              

Don't know how to JP                                                                                                                                                                              

You look at it if the chain isn't on the cogs then it's off. See if you can hind where the noise is from by turning the wheel with the bike on its centrestand.                                                                                                                                                                             

I think that noise is coming from inside that metal casing area yam, chain is on sprocket at the back, been advised it might be worn sprocket, i have just asked the previous owner if they have ever been replaced, just waiting on her reply now
                                                                                                                                                                             

A possibility is that when the chain got jarred it adjusted the chain tension, especially if it wasn't tight to start with, also check the chain for any broken or cracked links and that the wheels are in alignment.

i'm with wheelbarrow and yam, check your chain first hun, then check where the noise is coming from, a "funny" noise could be anything !                                                                                                                                                                             

park it in neutral from now on honey .....   xx                                                                                                                                                                              

ah noooo  i hope you get it all sorted chick - .   sprocket is the round bit with spikes that the chain winds around - its in middle of wheel?? you can see if its a bit warn??   hope you find someone to check it over for you x                                                                                                                                                                             

I couldnt put it in neutrel KN, it is one of them roads that is uphill from kerb to centre road, am i making sense  lol, so i had to put it in gear to stop it rolling x

The first thing that comes to mind is ....if the chain is a little loose is its jumped on the front sprocket & maybe hooked a tooth or even broken one off. easy so spot if you can get the front cover off     The second is ... i have a feeling its a pre-engaged starter on the gs so it could have jammed as it was pushed back in gear poss damage to the starter clutch as well ... only 2 bolts & a wire connector to whip the starter off & see if its jammed best to disconnect battery first tho     Thats all that comes to mind without looking at & hearing it tatts ... shout up if you need a hand                                                                                                                                                                              

i will call you tomorrow scoob if oyu like and put phone on speaker, then you can hear the sound?                                                                                                                                                                             

its worth a try                                                                                                                                                                               

My bike is now sorted, thank fully all  it was, was an over tight chain .... Thank you scoob for taking the time out and coming all the way here to have a look and fix it for me ..... my door is open and kettle is on anytime your this way  x
