I have a gsx1100et with gsx1100esd forks on which I am putting new fork seals in the only problem is how much and which weight fork oil to put in, according to the net specs this varies from 252cc to 302cc per leg but what is the correct amount. thanks for any help

I have a 1980 gsx1100et which has bridgestones on at the moment but handles like a pig on roller skates, can anyone recommend tyres to suit this bike on standard wheels which will help it at least go round corners. Thanks for any help offered

thanks a lot for all your replies I will try all these and let you know the results

Thanks for the prompt replies, it has had new coils c/w new leads and new plug caps new ngk br8es plugs, plug is wet/black and if put in the corresponding plug cap and rested against the engine it produces no spark when kicked over or even when run on 3 cylinders but when a new plug is put in the plug cap the new one sparks if I then put the new plug in the head and ride it after about 10 miles then for some reason that plug ends up not sparking like its previous plug. valve clearances are spot on on all cylinders and all cylinders give 125-130psi readings. I understand that the coils are linked (1+4 2+3) that is what is so frustrating with this problem, plenty of fuel getting through the only problem is the plug stops sparking

Hello my name is Glenn from the UK. I am tearing my hair out with my sons 1978 gs550e running problem which is as follows, no1 cylinder keeps dying (no spark from plug) if I put a new plug in it runs fine for about 10 miles then kills the plug again, since having this problem both coils and plug caps have been replaced but the problem still persists on the same cylinder, the carbs are fine/clean and all float heights set to the correct heights and all bowls getting fuel through. I cannot understand what would cause a plug to stop sparking after such a short time, not every new plug I put in can be defective so there must be a problem elsewhere, it's as if there is a surge in voltage or something to cylinder no1 which is taking out the spark. Any ideas gratefully accepted

thanks for all the info guys that's been really helpful, to answer wraith I've had my gsx1100et for 18 years now, I think she's a keeper don't you, before that a couple of gs750's with 3 months on a z650 but it wasn't a patch on my gs750 so fucked it off. I do have an rd400 for when the snow & ice is here in the north west of England though as I ride (ooer missus) all year. thanks again and stay sunny side up

thanks for the welcome blubber I'm glad you're blunt just like me I hope you do sarcasm as well as life is so boring without it. now we're mates any ideas about which engine I have in my gsx1100et or if the katana clutch is the same, cheers

sorry not been on for a few days, jeez wraith & blubber I didn't figure you were that sensitive how can I not like you if I don't know you. well said melkweg after riding old suzukis for 30 years now I must be a nasty bastard by now lol

I HAVE A 1980 GSX1100ET BUT THE ENGINE NUMBER IS GS110-125655 WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS A KATANA ENGINE IS THIS CORRECT AS I WAS LOOKING AT A TRAC KING CLUTCH WHICH SAYS ITS FOR THE KATANA BUT DOESN'Y MENTION ANY OTHER MODEL WILL IT FIT MINE, THANKS FOR ANY HELP
