Thanks guys that's very useful information

Hi Guys Got a bit of a problem with my GS1000 engine wonder if anyone can give me a bit of advise When the motor starts to warm up I get a lot of smoke coming from the engine breather on top of the rocker cover. and it seem to be pressurising the crankcase pushing some oil out via the cylinder base gasket I am thinking piston rings done a compression test and the cylinders all seem ok pressure wise I am in the process of starting to strip the engine to check the piston rings and probably replace but if anyone has any other suggestions I would be grateful for your knowledge thanks in advance Cheers Russ

fantastic looking bike nice one What make is the rear sprocket would like one of those on mine ?

If you have a good spark it sounds to me as if its a fuel problem, will it fire if you spray easy start (you can still get easy start from most motor factors) into the carb inlets if it does then I would guess its a fuel problem worth a try

I Had a GS1000 fiberglass fairing from nick Suzuki performance parts painted now for 3 years no cracks been fine good quality

I will be up for putting my bike on the stand

Nice bikes like the oil cooler plumbing

The bike didn't make into the top final four I'm afraid but thanks to all who took the time to vote for it Cheers

Thanks all for the votes much appreciated lets hope it gets into the top 4

You can get a spark plug thread repair inset which is the same thread I used one on mine and it has been fine

Hi All My GS1000 has reached the last 14 in the Ace builds shed built custom competition the final four are selected by the public to be displayed at the NEC motorcycle live show where the top bike will be selected, closing date 4th November You can check out the bikes on acebuilds.motorcyclelive.co.uk and if you like it give it your vote Thanks Guy's

Very nice

Looks great nice job like the fuel filler fancy one of those on my GS

I agree got to be those colours bike is looking great

Nice

Thanks that what I was thinking looks like a strip and new set of rings

Wonder if anyone could help me with some information I have a GS1000 with Wiseco 73mm pistons could anybody tell me what the Cylinder PSI should be with these pistons I have checked in the manual for normal pistons and it states between 130 to 180 PSI At present my bike is between 110 and 130 PSI which I think maybe to low be grateful if anyone can let me know Thanks Russ

Nice job

fantastic job and great looking bike nice one

Sorry my comment was wrong I miss read your question I was thinking of the barrels on my GS1000 I had problems removing not the Cylinder Head hope you have sorted must pay more attention

I had this problem with my GS1000 you have to remove the head studs I kept putting penertrating oil down the studs and tapping them to loosen the crud around the studs. I managed to remove them all in the end with the help of a bit of heat but it took about 10 days in the end I had to replace a few of the studs as they were a bit damaged but at one point I didn't think it was going to move but it came away in the end l Hope this helps all the best

Just joined the site some pictures of my GS1000 I built a couple of years ago busy rebuilding the engine at the moment will put some pictures of the build and engine build on at a later date got loads of nice goodies on the bike cheers
