Ah ok, I have the oilcooled float levels in my head. Are the spark plugs new / good?

float level should be around 2mm lower than standard, I would guess it's way too low now.

I have a Powerscreen engine in the EFE, with Slingy 750 loom, and EFE clocks. I got the tacho, fuel level, gear position, and the idiot lights (Neutral, Left turn, Right turn, Oil P, High beam) working. I could also get the sidestand light working but there's no sidestand switch on my bike. ET/EX has a mechanical tacho so you will not get that working with an oilcooled lump. ED (1983) and newer has an electronic tacho IIRC.

180 rear tyre will not fit in EFE swingarm, widest I've had in was a 5,5" rim with 160 tyre or 170 depending on manufacturer.

check out the archives!

that' normal, it's the hottest part of the engine when it's running. Install the temp sensor somewhere in the sump and it will show the oil temp.

This +1. Riding till it gets thoroughly warm will 99% sure fix it.

and how about some pics of all these 7/11s? I'll start with mine

750L with Powerscreen engine

battery then

you can change the airbox with the engine in the frame. Just remove the generator and intake rubbers and oil lines, gives just enough space.

and if the tube has been filed there's a big chance that it's not perfectly flat on one end, this has probably caused your bearing failure.

a little longer. You install one bearing (right one if I'm not mistaken) until it seats, then put the tube in and install the other bearing till the inner race seats against the tube. Both bearings should turn together if you compress them (like tightening the axle nut) but still be able to turn individually when not compressed.

yes. Pics of the bike. Welcome by the way

the clutch cable on my mate's EFE was not new anymore which caused heavy clutch operation. I lubed the cable, it improved a bit. Then later I installed a new cable and that made a massive difference. First thing I recommend if the clutch is too heavy, is a new clutch cable.

if it's the standard tube it should be ok. Maybe one bearing was pressed in not far enough / a bit too far in the wheel which puts a side load on them. The tightening torque of the wheel nut has no influence on bearing life if the whole stuff is installed correctly.

are you sure the tube between the bearings in the wheel is the correct length?

no, the EFE mounts were wrong. And possibly still are.

depending on where you get the drawings from, carefully check the dimensions. I remember the bottom rear mounts are 10mm too short on the drawings I got from the old site some 10 years ago.

disconnect the throttle cable at the handlebars and remove the carbs complete with the cable. For putting the carbs back in, remove the battery and batterybox and air filter so you can push the airbox-carb rubbers on from the inside. A bit more work but much easier.

even if I say so myself, not bad for a 41 year-old after 3 beers

done

Hi and welcome. That exhaust looks a lot like the Yoshi I had on my '88 750. But mine had the duplex system.

some woman broke it Saulius is ok thank God

yes it's strong enough, don't worry. What I would worry about though is a first post without pics of said GS1000S
