  1. Bit of a weird one that I have never had before. I've put some GS750 cams (well bought as 750 cams ) and put them in the GS1000 motor that I was building out of bits ;) and when I tightened the exhaust cam caps the motor would not turn over by hand; slackened the cam caps off and the engine turns over. The caps that I was using were bought as GS1000 cam caps but bought on their own witout engine or cams (but yes, they were put onto the head in the right places).
    So I've put some other cam caps in (GS1000, from another spare engine) and all works fine, all nice and smooth.
    The reason I've used GS750 cams is because I've been told from a U.S. site you may know that the 750 cams allows the GS1000 motors to rev quicker, so I thought I'd give it a go (why not, LOL).

    Any ideas? Anyone had this before? Bit worried to start up the new engine, just in case there's something odd about the cams or caps, though I can't see anything (except one of the exhaust cams is a bit scored at one side, otherwise looks pretty new).

  2. Was it running ok before you put the Dyna coils on? The Boyer ign have never been good, the Dyna S are much better, What makes you think it's the carbs? As the old slide carbs are pretty robust.

  3. Car't see it being the coils as the coils usually work or they don't, if all 4 ciylinders are running I don't think it will be a coil. You can get some Duck Oil and spray that over the coils/electricses and if you have a bad earth the duck oil will smoke at that point (with no chance of fire)

  4. tidy job and good price ... have you still got that bike you built ,the shaft drive black one you had pics of on the old site @wraith 

    Errr yes but it's somewhat changed in the proses of revamping it and I've put the standard body work back on it ;) but still has the single-sider swing arm but now has the matching front wheel. Will put pics up when it's back to gever.

    As to crankcases, the man who did them made up brass blanks for where the crank and  gearbox goes and then bolted it all together before he welded it up.

    Where the bits were missing (front/rear mounts) he also machined up new ally blanks, welded them up then machined them up agane for the holes etc. :)

  5. bin the dyna 2k and fit a stansard one.

    Yes I always find the standerd CDI works better on them motors than the Dyna ones, but it time you got the bike done mate LOL

  6. I'd say carbs, as it inproved when you gave them a clean sounds like there is still some crap in there and check the air filtter.
    Make shoure you balence the carbs as well, the miss GSXR1100 dose this some times will tick over but pops and bands then dieds when you open the throtel give them a good clean out and a balence and works fine, some times you just get crap fuel when you fill up.

  7. Had the same problem over spring on my GS1000, the battry was 6 mouths old and the bike was used over winter but in spring the bike was getting slower and slower to start tryed all the bits out like you, ended up putting a new battery on it and it now spins over nice and fast and starts first time.

    So I'd try a new battery.

  8. I know I have slotted cam sprockets on my GS1000 and had no probs with the 20 teeth bit, I'm using Falcon sprockets and Andersons S3 cams.

    I'd recheck the timing so you don't hit a valve, I'm shoure some one will be along in a bit who knows more ;)
