Got the starter clutch out, utube videos were a big help.
The case is cracked, seems to be a common failure.
Waiting for gaskets now.

Finally getting some rides in after waiting weeks for different parts.
More to do, I bought clip-on handlebars from an 83 GPz because they're lower and more forward, I have long arms.
Need new tires but I'll wait until next season, plus some carb adjustments, power drops off at 8,000 RPM.

Had a hard time with the rear brake system. Eventually replaced everything except the pedal.
The Kawasaki rear master cylinder seems to be very much the same for many of their bikes, with slight differences.
I did rear brake jobs on 3 of my bikes. They do get taken for granted.1982 GS1100G-

Rob, you're telling your and your bikes age, with some of these newer bikes 8K rpm is just half throttle.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

LMAO. Z1 redline is maybe 8K on a good day, and Rob also had a Harley, where redline is just over 6K. I think dementia is setting in."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Z1 redline was 9k, and it made good power past that any day of the week.Originally posted by GS1150Pilot View Post
The Sporty red line may have been 6k, but there was virtually never any benefit after 5k.

Hum. The 550's are known for rod knock, but not the 650/750. Are you sure? The clutch basket is known to develop lash, fix as shown in my build thread (installing new rubber cush bumpers). Also, the secondary shaft drive sprocket has rubber bushing that develop lash. Hope the problem isn't truly rod knock, because the fix for that involves splitting the cases.Originally posted by Buffalo Bill View PostOh bummer, sounds like rod knock and loud.Ed

Yikes! Figured it meant splitting the case.
The sound is a really loud knock, and seems to be coming from #2 cylinder in the case.
I will have to open it up for a look see. With winter coming on my garage will be too cold to work, even with a heater.
The reason this bike looks in fine shape on the outside, must be because it never ran very well.
Another weird thing is there is a center detente in the steering race, like it was meant to help steer the bike straight ahead?? Really throws off my confidence in corners.
I already ordered replacement tapered roller bearings.1982 GS1100G-

That's a shame. But I happen to know that most Kawasakis come from the factory house broken. If you think she might have an accident, spread a few newspapers. And don't cry over spilled milk.Originally posted by Buffalo Bill View Post
