  1. So I have changed the clutch cable for a new one, I have oiled the cable, made sure it was correctly routed and oiled the lever. Got to say it was a major improvement, I can pull clutch in with 2 fingers now and feel like it is as good as it is going to get. Not modern hydraulic light but normal pressure needed now. Happy to live with it, I needed to squeeze very hard before, like one of those grip springs. Thanks every one for the info, still need both hands for what Tony recommended, so don't think it would really improve things.
  2. Thanks for the replies Guys, I will let you know how I get on.
  3. Hello everyone, I have a 1984 EFE that I am getting back on the road . It is noticeable that the lever pull at the handlebar is very heavy, I need to have forearms like the Hulk to pull lever to the bars. I have previously stripped the clutch due to plates being stuck together and replaced the clutch centre with a brand new unit due to wear on splines. The clutch works. I will be changing the standard cable for a new one and I have bought a new lever for the naked version as I am using straight bars. I expect that the clutch springs are the heavy duty versions. I remember reading some while ago that you could fit lighter rated springs to the clutch, would any one have any idea what ones I need. I realise that they may not solve the problem but not expensive to try. I do not drag race the bike or ride excessively hard, so do not expect to stress clutch. Many thanks everyone. Regards Rob.
  4. I have a JMC arm on my EFE, I have a Metmachex one as well which is slightly wider at rear.
  5. The 'E' is model designation, letter after shows year. Body and engines changed depending on the year. T is 1980, X is 1981. F is 1984 on model with next letter showing year. GSX 110 is 1075 cc, 1135 had number starting with 'V'.
  6. I have fitted a wheel conversion to my 84 EFE. I used a 4.5" GSXR 1100 rear wheel with a GS500 sprocket carrier. I had to change bearings to match spindle diameter and shorten bearing spacer by 11 mm. I used a GSXF rear sprocket and Katana front sprocket 17/45. Spaced out front sprocket using a Bandit spacer, 530 120 link chain.
  7. There is a brand new shaft on Eblag uk, item number is 163524142452. 163524142452
  8. Hi Guys and Gals, I decided to give the brake calipers a strip down and clean due to bike not being used for a while. I dropped the caliper halves in to a mix of 10% Harpic Plus 10 and hot water. This is a picture of them half done.
  9. Hi Guys and Gals, I am putting a GSXR 750M motor in my Inazuma. I am using GSXR 750 36mm carbs and it looks like that it is a single throttle cable operation not the normal push/pull one. Can I just use the pull cable out of the push/pull set up, or do I need to change cable and twist grip etc. Thank you. Rob.
  10. Many thanks Guys, I will fit a early filter cover. Much appreciated. Regards Rob.
  11. Hi Guys and Gals, I have a EFE with the oil cooler removed, there are 2 blanking plugs where cooler pipes normally fit. I am happy at the moment not to have the cooler fitted. Am I ok running engine this way with standard EFE oil filter cover fitted, or do I need to fit the standard GSX 1100 cover. Many thanks everyone. Rob.
  12. Normally the idle adjustment on Suzuki carbs is done by a knurled adjusting wheel hanging underneath the carbs in the middle. Best carb synchroniser for sensible money is a Morgan Carbtune. The Gunson colortune is the glass plug you are looking for, harder to see flame colour with modern fuels though. Reset mixture adjusting screws to standard settings when fitting airbox and filter, normally located at bottom of carb body in a little tower casting.
  13. I do not know about the base gasket issue, but I do know that the mesh on the oil pickup tube in the sump gets blocked. I understand that it is part of the service schedule to clean the mesh regularly but it gets missed and over time the mesh blocks restricting oil flow. Usually happens when oil changes not carried out regularly.
  14. Thanks Guys, spent far too much rescuing it, but would have been scrapped else. Little bit of work to finish, then on to the next one (1100et)
  15. I changed the clutch centre for a brand new one, seems better now. Will find out next year when I use it regularly. Got painter to add stripe to tank and mudguard. Think it looks good.
