[CV Carb mod to replace plastic washers, which locate under needle circlip that wear out.]

ahh good i will get myself a set knocked up mine dont have them, really good mod

[CV Carb mod to replace plastic washers, which locate under needle circlip that wear out.]

did you ever get anyone to cnc them?, only reason i ask is i have a cnc sitting idle at the moment, and about 30 years of programming the fking thing!

i had a quick look at the drawing, and they are a piece of piss to make, but difficult to hold, i have got an idea to batch them at maybe 100 at a time

my business is closed at the moment, and as i am self employed i am not sure when we will re-open, the m/c is sat there idle,

i am not touting for work as i can afford the downtime, but if i can help out oss members.......

i am not going to make just 4 except as a sample, but if there is enough to be worthwhile, i can make them no problem, stainless, aluminimum, titanium, take your pick

[Service manual GSX750 1981]

welcome to OSS,  remember to RTFR,

you don't need a manual to  swap out a few gaskets, they are not complicated even if inexperienced

gsx 1100 manual will be the same for disassembly/reassembly, there may be some differences in cam/ignition timing and some torque values but broadly the same

engine looks dry why the gasket swap?

[This weekend I am picking up my dads late 80s GS 1100. It's been in a garage covered for 20 years.]

Hi welcome to OSS, you will find a ton of material to help you on this site,

remember to RTFR,

as to the bike, full service, change all fluids, tyres, battery,  plugs, ,give it a good clean, see how it runs then take it from there,

post pics on your progress 

[530 chain conversion]

feckin ace they aren't they?!  ooh can't beat a nice pair of dumplings!!!

[530 chain conversion]

got me rk zxw chain on order and new sprockets so will post before and after pics, i will post link count and sprocket size for reference

[Inverted front ends]

forgot to say gsxr 750/1100 l/m/n w series will go straight on,  as will most other Suzuki usd front ends, you will need to add lock stops but thats about it, do a search loads of very nice gs ones done on here

[Inverted front ends]

welcome to oss,  looks like a nice original one, might be a shame to alter it, leave that one by a  gs 1000 chain driven/gsx  750/1100 et/ef/efe, and modify that, more bang for your buck if you get my meaning, never buy a gsxf, and if you do keep it under wraps

also just debating having the arm out for cleaning and weld on some lugs for bobbins, i have seen some tasty yoshi ones on the bay of e

[530 chain conversion]

[Finished GT500......almost]

castrol R i hope

[GT250 Hustler random bolts]

i had one of these years ago, had allspeed expansion  chambers on it, sounded ace, went well for what it was, frighteningly shit brakes though.......

[530 chain conversion]

RK are listing 122 links so that should be ok, i have got to try to work out what sprocket carrier i have, i am sure that the rear wheel is straight spoke 5.5 blandit but the guy i got it off mentioned gs 1000 sprocket carrier, and i dont know if pcd's are the same as the blandit, does anyone know?

[530 chain conversion]

is that for the stock  efe arm? on the harris

[530 chain conversion]

bummer, hope you get it sorted, i didnt know there was a 525

[530 chain conversion]

thats what   i thought, mine is  fine for wear, but is very scabby and looks rough, been cleaning and polishing while i wait for reg docs, and the chain and sprockets let it down, i agree they look super trick, post some pics when you have fitted  yours

btw,  do you know how many links are required?

thanks for the info

[530 chain conversion]

As title really,  are there any problems going down to 530 chain from  630  on the efe?

std ish engine not making huge hp or anything (yet)

i did a search but didn't  bring much up, 

saw this and thought it looks good

warped clutch plates?

[GSX 1100 x wiring problems HELP!]

as  say what now!? 1460 says, the slider looks missing, and the spring, l/h switch clearly shows  "s" which is sidelight, hold it in the middle and see if sidelights illuminate, if they do  then prob a detent missing or stuck

stand needs no further explanation

[£9.50 audi anyone?]

ahh, i have been thinking about that all fucking day! 

[£9.50 audi anyone?]

funny fucker, smidsy 

[£9.50 audi anyone?]

yes i get that but what does it stand for?

[£9.50 audi anyone?]

by the way wtf is SMIDSY???

[efe oil temp sender]

thanks , i have ordered one,  i have an 1/8th npt tap somewhere i will try it later on, if the resistance is off i will include a suitable resistor to give correct readings

[£9.50 audi anyone?]

cheers, i wanted some small  unobtrusive indicators and saw these on the bay of e , £9.50 ish including delivery,  i kid you not, cant remember exactly how much but not more than a tenner,  they are made really well too,, no wiring changes just connect and go.

cheers viz, i wasn't sure about the red bodywork at first but it has grown on me, pity about the damage to the tank as otherwise its mint inside and out, i didn't know they did a single colour one i thought the red ones were always red / black which i also like.
