    Another GS1000G rotor puller (tool) question

    Seeking title item, for an '81 1000G. What I'm looking for is the two-component external thread item, which looks like this:





    I've read somewhere that this bike uses the 35mm x 1.5mm item as shown in the Amazon listing I posted. I don't mind paying for the right tool, but I really don't want to pay for the wrong one...

    In searching through this forum, I've found about a zillion hits on similar topics, but nothing zeros in on the thread size I can expect to find on my flywheel / rotor once I get this thing apart.

    I've also hunted down the OEM item specified in the bike's shop manual -- the Suzuki part number, anyway, for the special tool they show -- and I don't get anything specific.

    Anyone know for sure?

    Thanks.

    I just used on on a 1100G motor. If its the same, I'll loan it to you. Once I get back to Maine in a month or so...

    I have the rotor holder, too

      That's a terrific offer. Unfortunately, upon looking up the Suzuki part numbers of the flywheel / rotor pullers in Suzuki shop manuals, your 1100 and my 1000 use different part numbers -- so they're not the same.

      What I need is the measurement of the external thread of the rotor off of a 1000G. Anyone?

      Thanks!

        Sorry Robert, don't have time right now to research it for you but there have been several long thread in the archives on this topic. The only thing you really need is a long bolt that threads into the center of the rotor. The swingarm bolt on a GS1000 is the perfect size thread. I'll dig around in the archives later if the answer doesn't present itself before that.

          Robert, when looking for my rotor puller I found alpha sports tool section had them listed with the sizes. Might want to check their site out. Be careful though as its not very organized and I found it from google and the service manual
