Any ideas what might have caused this damage? The crank gears look fine. Why just those teeth? I carried on riding for over a thousand miles after first noticing the rumble from below. Would having to bump start the bike a few times when the battery began to fail put to much stress on the gears? Any ideas gratefully received Cheers

Bugger! Cheers fella

As you might guess from the title of the thread, will an EFE basket fit an EZ? Cheers

Unfortunately not JR, it’s from an EZ but has Grumpys back plate modification, I wonder if it had a tougher life previously to me ragging the arse off it!!!

I fitted a Laser K2 system to my 550, I think they are still in production in Holland, but I might be mistaken

Yep, I’m sure that’s the connection as well. Just curious as to the cause. Apparently drag racers have seen similar damage so maybe I shouldn’t wear the wife’s undies at traffic lights anymore!

I don’t believe that this is standard Suzuki GSX1100! Anyone know of possible causes ? The crank gears look fine.

Had a root about in there last night, there was about 1mm of play with the main clutch nut even though the lock washer was still doing it’s thing. Doesn’t seem to be anything else amiss apart from a few marks probably caused by the movement. Would that have been caused by the clutch plates wearing? They are still within tolerance and the steels look perfect. Thanks for your help chaps

Hi JR, no there’s no chatter I think I’m going to have to delve in to the clutch and have a look see.

Hi Fazz, yeah I wondered the same because of the feel but all seems good back there.

Guys, advice please. I seem to have some slack in my transmission, gear change is fine, clutch feels fine, but when I let the clutch out I get judder and it feels like free play has been taken up. Is this a problem with the clutch basket? Cheers

That’s ace beam, thank you

Cheers JR, I’ve already replaced the needles after they decided to make a bid for freedom! I’ve actually had this issue for over 10 years !! Still its kept it a low mileage motor! I asked the question as I wanted to see if there was a known replacement set of workings that I could source before diving into them again. Thanks for the help fella

Cheers fella, I’ll go on the hunt!

Anyone know if the workings of my Kat clocks are the same as others of the same period? My speedo is working but the odo isn’t. While this has the advantage of keeping the mileage low it’s a pain in the arse when I just pass a garage and then need reserve! I’m hoping I can cannibalise another set for it’s drive gear that’s given up. Cheers

H###a Bros running gear????? Interesting

Am I right in thinking that 6th August is Suzuki day at the Ace? Is anyone thinking about going?

I believe they do but you might need efe inlet rubbers and a dynojet stage 3 kit

That's great, cheers pal

Thanks Gammaboy. Its on an 82 GSX1100 EZ if that's any help?

Cheers for your help in the methodology!!!!! But I still need to know what size puller do I need to buy before I attach the scaffold tube to it?

Cheers matey, do I have to wear the flowing robes with the hood up or down???

it seems the bearings behind my rotor might be on their way out and so i'll have this same joy! What size is the puller i need to buy please?
