why do you have catch cans on the oil cap filler end? I have put one on the top rocker cover breather but just wanting to know why they go on the oil cap ???

hi, yes oil does come out of the breather. I would like to put a catch can on it , so breather hose goes into the catch can but I don’t know where the the output hose from the catch can would go since there no air box to go into

do i need a catch can if im running 36 mm flatslides with no airbox, i had the rocker cover breather tube siting just above the drive chain but it was driping too much oil, is it ok just feed into a plastic bottle,? or if a catch can were do you put tge output tube to

1986 1100 slabby. 36mm flatslides. do they need a catch can? i had the top breather hose running to a filter but it soon cloged up then had it above the chain but was getting oil driping, i have it runing into a plastic bottle now with a filter on top, but thinking maby a catch can would be better? but do you have the outlet running to the carbs? and how?

Ah ok, thanks

i have brand new rs36 flatslides on my 87 gsxr1100 , surging at low revs - is that a sign of being too lean or too rich

thanks, yer its a brand new wiring loom, ive checked all that and cleaned, cleaned starter switch, no clutch witch, batterys reasonably new gel type 230cc , im thinking all i can put it down to is the starter

yer gave the original a good clean up, brushes are like a couple mils above replacement, seemed better for awhile but still get the times where it acts as a flat battery but batterys good and have changed solonieod and switch block. im guessing starters like 37 years old, still searching for a replacement

That what i was thinking

thats intresting thanks

how big a job was it puting gsxr1000 forks on the slabside? did anything have to be machined for them to fit

does anyone know if a later model gsxr1100 water cooled starter could fit a oil cooled slabside by changing the end mounting caps over? my old 1100 seems a bit slow to crank and sometimes you woukd think the batterys dead but then itll pick up again, i know they look the same from except the mounting end but ive only seen one in photos

Ah cool, so no problem fitting it? i think theres only approx 10mm size difference

anyone know if a gsxr1000 steering damper will fit an 87 1100 slabside
