melkweg Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 If we worried about upsetting people we'd all be riding Superdreams. You meet the nicest people riding a H0nda, you meet the nastiest people riding a Suzuki. 2 Quote Link to comment
montjuic Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 sorry not been on for a few days, jeez wraith & blubber I didn't figure you were that sensitive how can I not like you if I don't know you. well said melkweg after riding old suzukis for 30 years now I must be a nasty bastard by now lol 4 Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Me....sensitive? We clearly haven't met before. I mostly work with machines... Can't you tell by my people skills? At best I am considered "unfiltered " or blunt as they might say in the UK. But that's enough about me. Welcome btw 1 Quote Link to comment
montjuic Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 thanks for the welcome blubber I'm glad you're blunt just like me I hope you do sarcasm as well as life is so boring without it. now we're mates any ideas about which engine I have in my gsx1100et or if the katana clutch is the same, cheers 1 Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 That's all i can find. Not that clear. A picture of your engine might help. The engine color, type of camshaft ends, rotor diameter of the generator, amount of bolts on the rocker cover , 2 or 3 bolts to hold the head to the cylinder ( exhaust side ) All these are give aways for the anoraks here Quote Link to comment

I work in a quarry and with heavy machinery. And you never knew me when I had my Rat Superdream, either! SO WHAT ABOUT YOU, APART FROM A GSX MOTOR AND BEEN RIDING FOR 30 YEARS?

johnr Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 engines will be nigh on identical for anything that matters. kat 1100 engine is same as the et aside from some slight differences with the crank where the rotor bolts on. will have chrome end caps on the head. all kats and et (1100) engines have gs110x engine numbers. 1980 will have 20 bolts holding rocker cover on (later engins had 24) clutch is the same, 2 Quote Link to comment
Jonboy Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Have tried allsorts of plates before with and without success, OEM are still better than all others......16v motors all same clutch plates. Edited June 13, 2017 by Jonboy stupid! Quote Link to comment
montjuic Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 thanks for all the info guys that's been really helpful, to answer wraith I've had my gsx1100et for 18 years now, I think she's a keeper don't you, before that a couple of gs750's with 3 months on a z650 but it wasn't a patch on my gs750 so fucked it off. I do have an rd400 for when the snow & ice is here in the north west of England though as I ride (ooer missus) all year. thanks again and stay sunny side up Quote Link to comment
