How bad is the rust in your tank. Pinholes can be closed up quite easily with solder and then some tank liner to finish opp.

Degrease the motor well, then dust on some baby powder in the leak area and run the motor. Makes it easier to see where the leak is coming from. If you do need to take it apart, the head will come out with the motor in the frame, but it is tight. Be careful not to scrape the head sealing surface over the studs during removal. I lifted the head and slid in a piece of cardboard between the studs and head. And don't forget to put a piece of wire or something on the cam chain so that it doesn't disappear.

The 03 swingarm brace will most likely hit the frame. I just trial fitted a SRAD swinger on mine and the brace is hitting the frame and Im pretty sure the 03 is similar dimensions as the SRAD. Allballs website has a bearing finder for headset bearings required for front end swaps. https://www.extremecreations.com.au/fork-extensions-50mm-75mm make fork extenders instead of stepped yokes.

Thanks Dezza and say what now!?

Can somebody send me a pic of the 4 wires from the main harness into the connector 6 way connector on the ignitor. The wires are all out on muy bike and the wiring diagram is not helpfull

The one on my 83 GSX1100E looks exactly the same as the one on my 1150

Dont know if there is a difference, but this is a 6" wheel in an 03 600 arm with a 97 Srad axle. couldn't find the brake hanger, but looks like enough space to go in. It will probably have to move a bit for alignment anyway

You never answered if it is a Dyna S or 2000. The S will be pretty much the same as stock. The 2000 has 5 advance curves and 4 retard curves, a built in rev limiter and cut out switch for something like a quickshifter. And you can set static timing accurately timing with the engine switched off. So Id say better than stock

Dyna S or Dyna 2000 system?

Could be a gouge in the mating surface, a piece of old gasket or even dirt in there

Got the motor opened up a bit and its not pretty. Oil ring is completely gone and bore is badly chewed up. There is a massive ridge at the top of the bore. Suggestions on cause of the failure? Oil ring broke?

That looks like an ef bottom end with gsx head. Does it have 1075 or 1135 stamped on the front of the block on the flywheel side?

Well yes it actually is. Fancy that.

Picked up a dead EFE after it came up on my Facebook marketplace for a good price. Been standing since 05. Seller thought he had melted a piston after fitting a Vance and Hines pipe and pod filters. Chunks of metal and oil in the pipe and the beat up plug in no 2 cyl tell a different story. Other than that the bike looks to be in really good shape for standing that long.

New keys made. The code is at the bottom, kinda hard to find under a layer of grime. Fuel cap has a code under the little part that lifts up

I put new clutch plates, steels and small aluminum spacers behind the spring and it made things better. My basket does not have grooves and there is still some drag and it can be hard to find neutral. I had it nicely adjusted, but I had to take the motor out to split the cases again and fix a problem and Im having a hard time getting it perfectly adjusted again, so maybe the black magic mumbo jumbo does apply. A high idle speed does make it much more difficult to find neutral while standing still

Where can I find the key code to get a key cut for a 84 1150? This is the only number I can see, but the locksmith says it is not the correct one.

Ive never used a fibre gasket, but just like MLS gaskets Ive always been told install clean and dry.

Back in the 80's there were some guys that would cut up two Kat wheels on a big lathe and weld it all back together for a wider tire, but after say what now!? wheels became available that became the way to go. I suppose there were less liability issues back then as well as wheel options.

Front motor mount is missing pieces on one side and the pickup area has been pretty badly smashed an looks like there is a crack somewhere under all he repair putty as it is leaking oil.

Im looking for new cases for an efe motor with damaged cases, so I have all the internal parts. I found a Katana parts motor nearby. By crankcase mouths do you mean where the sleeves fit into the cases?

Are the engine cases and transmissions from an 1100e, 1100 katana and 1150 efe interchangeable?

850 uses BS32's, so id say its not a switch. I have a set of 1100e carbs that will need some cleaning if you are interested

Thanks, found them. I had to get my kid to take a look for the numbers, cant see anything anymore.
