Marc,

I also watched the second video, but still cant tell you what could be wrong.

But please stop running the engine, there is something seriously wrong with it.

Take the tank off first, and then you can lay the bike on its side (so not all the oil come out) and take the clutch cover off.

Sevilla is a nice place to spend some time in. But I nearly had my 1VJ stolen there in 2005, but the thief could not start it, as the electric starter did not work after a year in Africa and he got interrupted trying to kickstart it.

Totally agree, something very wrong, but really hard to tell from the video.

Clutch cover yes, and I'd also want to pull the valve cover.

How's the oil?
For future reference, holding the phone microphone close to the top of the engine, and then from right beside the clutch cover, and then the other side too, can help, otherwise it's just "a noise" coming from "down there somewhere". WE don't care about the video, but you telling us where you're holding the phone is good.
A screwdriver tip held to various areas and the handle in your ear can help isolate noise to an area.

Get it to a shop asap. I would personally definitely fix it before Morocco. Morocco experts may disagree.

Agree with Grant.

Pls send me a private message, as a good friend in Germany (a motorcycle mechanic with his own shop) is parting out a 3AJ/1VJ Tenere after an accident at the moment.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
