The smaller one is off the gsxr 1127 and MK1 b12 The larger one is off the gsxr 1052. The problem with my clutch I've found is it's hard to put into neutral when the bike is running but it doesn't slip or drag. Found the church basket and hub have groves in them where the plates rub.

A plastic bottle is fine as long as you remember to empty it occasionally - its embarrassing when it pukes over LOL! Oil gets blown out due to pressurisation, so just connecting the hose back to the crankcase won't work! Connecting the hose to a can with drain back can work as long as the can is separately vented itself. Sometimes the blown out oil is milky due to condensation and some peeps don't like putting it back into the engine although if its removed it will return naturally anyway unless you run the crankcases under vacuum constantly!

Thanks Dave - that helps and looks logical. The shock movement is tiny though - maybe 20-25mm? - seems less than optimal but if it works, it works. The orientation of the levers and links on yours is similar but completely different to the OP question picture - in that one, the link / arm relationship certainly isn't parallel and more divergent hence my question!

This is the only way I could get the shock geometry correct on mine without massive bodgery. The link needs to be in the same plane as the arm otherwise you'll end up with a falling rate (as explained to me by someone cleverer than me and this works so I believe him) Obviously loads of slop in this but Ive since made a proper linkage on this geometry and it works really well. Just nice little vid to demonstrate how this linkage type works for those who cant wrap their head around it

do i need a catch can if im running 36 mm flatslides with no airbox, i had the rocker cover breather tube siting just above the drive chain but it was driping too much oil, is it ok just feed into a plastic bottle,? or if a catch can were do you put tge output tube to

1986 1100 slabby. 36mm flatslides. do they need a catch can? i had the top breather hose running to a filter but it soon cloged up then had it above the chain but was getting oil driping, i have it runing into a plastic bottle now with a filter on top, but thinking maby a catch can would be better? but do you have the outlet running to the carbs? and how?

Yeah they differ. I thought about a clutch basket mod for my 1100f but first tried a 1100r slave wich improved enough

Ahoy, Hive mind needed, my clutch has, for as long as I can remember been piss weak. It would always creep. I've changed m/C's, Hoses, slave cylinders twice over. Recently bought a Hel m/c and much the same. I have a collection of slave cylinders off various things and never measured one until I was googling Oberon slave cylinders and found an old post on here by @wraithhaving the same problem and he said about different sizes. I went and had a rumage and measured a few. The one on the bike was 38mm and found a 35mm so I've done a swap (actually twice, 1st 35mm one leaked) to see if that helps. It was too late to take the bike out and see if it helps. Anyhoo, does anyone know if the size difference is gsxr Vs gsxf or something else?

Here's the thread where "Chris12" was banned, he got 10 posts in before the ban hammer hit him on the head.

Looks like a similar set up to a Mille

Got better picture of it straight on from the side view @Ragerover Looks very similar to the R1 setup to me though.

Yes he did indeed.

I was out of commission for a while so didn’t update. The gasket fitted fine and I reused the half moon rubbers with a bit of black silicon-just in case. Just over 1000 miles done since and all good. Thanks to all for the info.

yeah thats how i see it

both mate !!!! not stripped it yet but i just know their is worn teeth by the sound and a whine from a bearing

I used a chinglish lockset on my old EFE and it worked fine, just wired the resistor inline with the earth on the cdi

Is it box or bearings ?

To me it looks like minimal compression with the shock moving slightly forward

anyone got a spare good gearbox they would like to sell ? can't put up with the grumbling and whining of mine im def in one ear atm and i can still hear it !!!!!!

Well it’s all in. Tried to fire it up tonight. Take a lot to crank it and even with ether it didn’t even cough. So evidently no spark. Gotta figure that one out but I’m running out of time. Supposed to leave Friday for a week long trip and I was gonna try and break in the engine on the ride. I bought a 2011 KTM990 Adventure last Saturday. So I guess I’m gonna be on two wheels. Damnit

I thought it was ok as it was cheaper but i noticed the difference when i used better quality oils.But that was in oil boiler suzukis so might be better in an air cooled lump.

On the back if you strip the ign switch down you will find the resistor that no one knows about. A security measure that the repair manuals do not cover. It measures 100 ohms and is in line in the power circuit to the ECU to stop hotwiring the bike.I have used 4pin gsxr ignitions wired up to blandit looms by fitting a 100 ohm resistor into the ecu wiring a few times in the past.I`m no electrics expert,i found it all on the interweb ages ago.

Didn't he pop up on here some time ago with a thinly disguised plug for his business ? I seem to remember that he was not best pleased with contrary opinions as to where the sun did actually shine from and has not graced us with his presence since .........................lol.

Not me personally. I use rock guardian 10w40 in all mine. Sure it's ok though.

Anyone used Mannol oil ? Just asking.. Thanks
