The problem was this bracket next to the stator! It had bent outwards and was not snug inside its slot, causing wear on the wheel inside: After adjusting the bracket and some love-taps to bend it back, the beast purrs once again! Also changed the oil and filter Thanks for all the tips and advice! And thanks to the seller who came with new oil and filter, and helped us fix it!

Hi again all, and thanks for the advice! Been listening with a stetoscope with a rod, and the rattle is most prominent in the lower-back part of the alternator cover. I have not started the whole oil change process, as I want the seller to come listen to the sound before I start to pour money on potentially futile attempts at fixing what causes the noise. Will update when I know more!

Hi, New on the forum, but I think this is the right place to post. Bought a used Suzuki GSX750ES from 1985 some days ago, and while it's standing on its own support/leaning left (not on the support) it sounds nice, clean and "rumbly", for the lack of a better word. When I balance it, the rumbling fades a bit and gets accompanied by a loud rattling/clicking noise. The rattling/clicking gets slightly worse if I lean right. The clutch has no effect on the noise. I've attached a video of me balancing the bike, and then leaning back left with the difference in sound clearly audible: Is this a normal sound? Do you have ideas on what could cause it? If it's bad, what needs to be checked and fixed? I'm new to motorcycles, and trying to learn as much as I can. All help appreciated.
