wraith Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Just been looking on that site and had a look at a gs1000 which he says has gsx1100 cams put in it and a gsx1100 clutch, amung over bits. Not shoure about the cams bit as one is 8v and the other is a 16v, but can you put a gsx1100 clutch in a gs1000 and whats the benafit? Anybody know Quote

GSX clutch has extra plates ......so you need basket and hub.......I think they put the GSX basket on the GS gear.......Garry Hurd or Roger Upperton will know 100% Quote
gsx Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Practical sports bike ran a feature on some bloke that built an xr 69 from scratch including frame and arm , Reckoned hardest part was making a gsx clutch fit a gs Quote

gsx Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Don't have any experience of this myself but this month's mag is worth a read. . Every days a school day ! 1 Quote

wraith Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Cheers all, thought the cams bit was bs, so as I am building a tuned gs1000 motor (1100cc, cams etc) is it worth putting a gsx clutch in my GS, as I was going to put HD springs in the basket anyways and which gsx1100 clutch do I use? The 1100et or 1100efe? Quote

The 1100et or 1100efe? You would need an ET basket and Hub....IIRC Primary gear has 87T same as 2v motor..... Edited February 27, 2016 by Duckndive Quote
wraith Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Been looking on that site and their seems to be two types of clutch basket/hub, one has a solid outer like a gs850/1000g and the other has slots like the gs1000 chain drive has. So which is the right one off/for the gsx1100et? Edited February 28, 2016 by wraith Put the et bit I Quote
Duckndive Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 ET basket is Solid ...I may have one .....will have to check Quote
wraith Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Will the gs1000 clutch plats fit the gsx basket? Quote
Duckndive Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 14 minutes ago, wraith said: Will the gs1000 clutch plats fit the gsx basket? fibres defiantly do... I think you need to turn to O/D off the steels down a few mm... Quote
johnr Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 or couldnt you use a gs750 primary drive and clutch backplate gear, allowing you straight cut primarys rather than the hellical cut of the gs1000/gsx1100? Quote
wraith Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 I have a gs750 gear box which is going in the motor Quote
Duckndive Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Right then curiosity got the better after I read the article mentioned ..... So I chucked a GS 1000 box in a set of cases ........and yes the basket don't go straight in.... But TBH 1/2 hr. with a grinder would have it in as its the web on the cases that's stopping it...in fact if you was to grind the case where "the cover bolt is on right of pic" it would need about 3 - 4mm off the basket.....or massage the web on the cases..."that,s what I did on me EFE cases to make it easier to get me slider hat off" if ya man took 6mm of the basket and then the same off the face of the hub "as that what it looks like in his article" then his hub is going to be loads weaker... ANy ways as they say a pic is better than a load of drivel so make your own minds up............. PS its not rocket science to work out the dims as you hardy have to keep taking it apart all the time.....but then that would not make column inches would it ..

Swirl Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Interesting something else for me to explore 1 Quote
CockneyRick Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 SPS has the answer to this, at a cost https://www.suzukiperformancespares.co.uk/product/gs1000-clutch-conversion-spacer-plate/2200/ Quote

I have a GSX1100 basket in my GS1000, again, about 7mm need to be taken off, you need a lathe to do that, or be a master with a hecksaw Edited April 23, 2020 by Reinhoud 1 Quote
CockneyRick Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Surely if you're taking meat off the clutch basket, in effect you're turning it into a GS1000 basket & defeating the point? That's why SPS has produced that (7mm?) spacer plate so you keep the extra plates in the GSX clutch, & also explains why the rack is longer on std & lockup versions 2 Quote
Swirl Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 The spacer looks the way to go to me although more cash to spend Quote
CockneyRick Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Yep that's the downside! So basically you're doing a clutch swap but not a lockup? Quote

CockneyRick Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 As i see it you'd have to use 2 spacers. 1 for the difference in basket depth, then 2nd one for the lockup itself. Both can be had from SPS. Or 1 big one that would have to be specifically made! Quote
