    81 gs850g Misfire Question

    in Air Cooled

    Posted

    ive got one of then crappy neon plug caps that the custom boys used to use, it was great for finding misfires, but I dont think you can get a long reach one like many suzuki's use ?????  the one ive got is the short one.

    The two o rings on the nuts you are on about mean you get a leak that for all the world looks like a failed head gasket between the two front cylinders

     

    Buy a couple of genuine o rings and a rocker cover gasket and change the o rings  one at a time and retorque the nuts , if the leak stops then it is a cheap and easy fix, if it does not then you have more work to change the head gasket but the price of the o rings and rocker cover gasket will not be wasted ss you need them anyway

     

     

    thats what my gsx750 is doing, it has a very slight weep and looks like its coming from the gasket at the front of the cam chain tunnel.  but after cleaning the oil off go for a run and you can see the oil running down the outside of the chain tunnel just underneath where the long nut and O ring live.  will get round to replacing them at some point :$

    You would need to find somewhere for a cam sensor and another way to trim the fuelling back a hell of a lot. Cheaper and easier going aftermarket ECU as per Arttu's thread. 1250 bandit stuff however....

    yeah good point on the sensors it would need. as well as a fuel pump.

    3mm clearance: luxuryO.o (To be said in a broad Yorkshire accent, obviously.)

     

    lol. yeah i was lucky i think :)  it might be 2.5mm at the frame but its still got paint on it and the chain is a bit on the slack side right now O.o

    Ive tried a 5/8 but it looks to much

    Was wondering if i should have got a 10 mm instead 

    I can't say for sure what you need but the 5/8th works good on my bike and with the GSX1100 carrier, chain is straight and with enough clearance.

    on my 1100ET i used a 5/8th offset (about 16mm) 530 sprocket. but i also used a standard GSX1100 rear carrier that fits my 1200 bandit wheel. if you don't bring the rear sprocket further in to the wheel it wont line up right and it'll hit the frame. I have about 3mm clearance between the tyre and the frame. yeah its close but no contact YET :/

    Alternatively, has anyone used the stock wheel for their bike on a fork swap with the newer brakes, but maintaining the old school speedo gear?

    yeah im sure people have and it wouldn't be too hard to do, but most people fit more modern forks so they can use more modern wheels and tyres as well.
