  1. the only good green stuff from Japan that I know of is Kawasaki wasabi.
  2. the helical clutch gear is no problem for one-piece crankshafts, the aircooled pressed together crankshafts cannot handle too much lateral force though. Basically the F engine is an 1127 R engine with a bit softer camshafts and smaller carbs. Using R camshafts and 38mm carbs from a 750 will give quite a lot of useable power. Or put a turbo on it straight away for 300+ hp.
  3. Good that you got it sorted. Nice and clean L by the way. Now install that 1100 engine.
  4. or make your own. Slot the holes on the ground plate.
  5. lying scum. That's not a 1000cc engine.
  6. the breather cover is not structural but the next thread you strip, might be. So invest in good quality stuff right away.
  7. Cool conversion. If your Teapot 600 has 36mm carbs (I'm not sure), the 1100 would run much better with those after rejetting them. And the cable operated clutch from the 600 is a straight fit on the 1100 engine. The pushrod length might need adjusting though. My GSX-R750L with 1100F engine also has the 600 sprocket cover and clutch cable for that sleeper appearance.
  8. check which valves have clearance, those are closed.
  9. that's already better than when they came from the factory. Nice bike.
  10. yes but in theory at least the springs have an easier time pushing against the plates if the radius side is inside. Probably makes 2/10th of fuck all difference but I feel better when the radius is inside. Simple minds and all that shit.
  11. yeah I'm lucky I work in a bike shop/workshop, stuff like oil and filters and spark plugs are off the shelf, stuff like valve shims and batteries I get from another shop, literally around the corner (5 min. walk). But this is the 2nd largest city in Lithuania with 400.000 inhabitants.
  12. if I need only a few I go to the bike parts shop around the corner, they sell them for 2 euros each and no need to wait.
  13. I vaguely remember that in the early '90s FZR1000 forks were popular in GS1000's. Good length and easy swap.
  14. DOT headed Slingy has 36mm carbs, not 38mm. And I think those 36mm CV's are good on a 750, or 34mm flatslides, not bigger.
  15. Difference between 710 and 711 could be power (restricted for some markets like F and D). K and L engines are the same. My 1100L engine was V711.
  16. under the sprocket cover should only be the neutral switch on 1052 engines
  17. f*ck yeah. Maybe it's the picture, but I didn't know Ducati Monsters were that compact.
  18. if you have both bikes available, yes. But if you're sitting at work / at the in-laws for Christmas dinner / on the loo / in the church / wherever, not so much.
  19. Tyre circumference is not difficult to calculate. Why do people need a programme or an app for the most simple tasks nowadays?
  20. so in other words their biggest fuck-up was the lack of communication.
