Check that the two dogs on the oil pump gear behind the basket are engaging correctly in their slots in the back of the clutch basket. If they're not, the basket will be spaced wrong and the clutch won't disengage.
Thanks for that I'll have a look tomorrow

It's a 83 esd motor , 9 friction plates . Think it just needs running up to bed them in after oil soaking

The shim goes in, then the thrust washer with the oil groove facing into the engine/away from the sleeve hub.
Thanks mate that's how I've got it

Have i got these washers the right way round ? Not disengaging, number 5 is the lager one with a scallop out which I've faced away from the basket

Must be a over 50 thing. If it wasn't the only one left in the country it was the only one i could find

New mounting points, with larger diameter to fill the 25mm hole and option to connect both points. Mind you, this will need modification of the inner fender. But mine was damaged anyway, so no broken heart here
That's the kiddie

When pops did the gs frames he cut and bent the back y of the frame that goes to the original shock mounts and made new ones , he also moved the bottom mount forward on the swingarm, not to lay the shocks down but to shorten the shock travel in relation to the back wheel movement. Think early moto cross before a linkage was added. Don't have any pictures though . It was all done roughly but obviously structurally

For starters I wouldn't fancy it straight through the frame tubes like that, too much leverage on the stubs.
You can get inserts to replace the originals, and in the original position they're as good as you'll get. Basically they're just a stepped solid bar for each side which you weld in. The shock eye slips over the smaller dia on the stub and there's a threaded hole which you put a bolt into.
I've got a mate that can do the machining but how big would the tapped bit be ? Without going and measuring I'm guessing the bushed section is only 12mm . Have you a link to said stepped bushings ? To everyone else ,thanks for input and the hole did have extra bracing to it , it was the removal of the top rubber bush that was bothering me
-
Going back to twin shocks on me gsx and bloke at Newark was kind enough to show me photos of how he did shock mounts , looks like the rubber bushing in the top mount has been sacrificed to get desired wall thickness. What's my best option ? This or original ish with nut on the end

If your struggling i could bring one along

Hi Folks
Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been slowly working on my gs1000 every so often and a couple of weeks ago I decided to install some headers, an exhaust and some k&n air filters.
I went up on the pilot jet to a 17.5 and 130 main jet. Bike idles good and starts good. 3/4 throttle and up is also good. Issue I’m having is when I’m cruising from 1/4-3/4 throttle the bike seems to hesitate and bog quite a bit. Air screw is out 2 turns and fuel screw is out 2 1/4 turns.
Needle clip is in its stock position. Would adjusting the needle clip be the solution?
What do you folks think it may be?
All the best!!
Carlos
You need an air corrector kit which comes with a tap and reduced air jet, goes into one of the small holes at the back of the carb mouth . Grumpy 1260 does them i believe . Alternatively try taping up a portion of the filters and by trial and error get it to pull cleanly
-
If i remember correctly you need the katana mounts as the other gsx ones are flat , also make sure you have them the right way round , thought my frame was bent till the penny dropped

Well a minutes silence for a dead thread , chucked in some new plugs , backed the accelerator thingy off and was just putting the tank on and noticed a hose going to nowhere in-between 3 and 4 . Yup a open vacuum hose ! Wrong side so you wouldn't expect it . Fuck fuck fuckety fuck , surprised it ran as well as it did , glad it didn't grenade its self
