As far as I can tell, starter end case broke, jammed starter, battery couldn't turn starter so battery crapped out. Replaced battery and starter end cap. Fixed Thanks for all your help. G
-
EBC plates with OEM steels. Adjusted in the normal way. Neutral easy to find until hot when virtually impossible. Have been known to adjust at the handlebar several times in a day. Once cool returns to normal.
-
The lever and the pivot are standard. I have tried moving the clutch actuator (on crankcase) on the splines in to he past but returned it all to standard specs.
-
Sorry, There is drive when the clutch lever is back to the bars. The biting point moves quickly until there is no disengagement at all. It is the only bike I have ever ridden that does this in the 35 years I've been riding with 3 years as an instructor.
-
The starter button ok as starter spins when not connected to the starter clutch.
-
I'll measure the thread, standard wheels and suspension long gone...
-
Starter brushes are well within spec. Starter replaced in 2015 and bike done embarrassingly low mileage since..

Hi Gixer1460 The lever comes back to the bar. Replaced the clutch plates a while back but it made no appreciable difference. I fitted an oil cooler and there was no improvement. Have even tried different viscosity oils. Any ideas?
-
Are any of these fixes any good for riding in town? My 81 1100 clutch gives up after a couple of minutes in traffic.
-
And.. Which flywheel puller do I need? There seem to be several different ones. Thanks again for your help and advice

Cheers guys. The battery isn't hot enough to melt but fluid has been spat out of the breather. Something I'd drawing loads of current. Is this what is making the solenoid click on and off rapidly? Battery showing plenty of volts. The starter clutch ring gear will move clockwise but not anti-clockwise (the way the starter spins).
-
Motor turns over on the crank end bolt. The starter spins without any load but turning the starter clutch gear is nigh on impossible with the relay clicking and battery getting hot.
-
This happened, replaced end cap and now relay clicks repeatedly and battery gets hot. Starter spins until it is installed when relay clicks quickly but engine doesn't. Battery is fine, all connections tight Help... Any ideas?

Measured as shown in manual between ,+ primary and HT output (secondary). There is only one output on this coil.
-
Hi All Please help this electrical idiot the Secondary resistance should be 10Kish. When measuring an ignition coil with my cheap multimeter (rapitest MAS 830 L) When set to 2M ohms I get a reading of 1.996 on two but 1.49 on the third. Is this OK and why doesn't it read on the 20k scale? Any help greatly appreciated G

to customise or not to customise? ....that is the dilemma
bigyellowthing replied to Dixie's topic in Air Cooled
Personal choice is a marvelous thing. Stock retains value and customising costs a fortune but makes friends and teaches you new skills. -
Cheers chaps. I'm very grateful for your help. Just to clarify. I have a 530 chain, GSXR 750 (h?k?) Swing arm (machined to fit), 4.5" rim, 160 tyre, twin shocks, and ambition that exceeds my talent.
-
With a 180 tyre you will need to modify the frame or offset the wheel. You might squeeze it in but once the chain wears it may well hit the tyre or the frame. In my GSX 1100 et I have 530 chain, 160 tyre, 4.5 x 17 rim and it just fits. Hope this helps.

Cheers Wraith. Is there any alternative to a £60 job or should I just stop being a cheapskate?
-
Bit more than an upgrade! Looking cool and truly unique.
-
Very cool.

Hi Guys Anyone know whether a Kawasaki dished sprocket fits an 81 1100? I'm aware of grumpy1260 and performance spares but £60+ seems a touch steep and if there is a readily available alternative... Any help appreciated
-
There is a company making them in ABS but their name escapes me. They do a bunch of katana, cb750 and Z1 stuff too
-
Buy now while prices are affordable...

Cheers Arnout.
