1983 Suzuki GS1100ED --- "Big Boy"

Battery is dead. Had it on the trickle charger over night but there is still no reading. However, the seller on eBay WILL replace it for free .

R/R is toast. Did the tests following the Stator Papers and it did not pass. It reads CH125-6 on it. This is the one I got from duaneage. So I did a search and found this. I will follow the instructions on BassCliff's site to convert this to work on a Suzuki GS.

Wow! That's cheap! I saw someone else post about that model number....I wonder what manufacturer that is though? Maybe no better than the stock one. Wish it said Shindengen on it like my Duaneage one did. Might be worth picking up a backup, but I doubt this one will fail With my luck it would though! Seriously, your story sounds like something my luck would bring me!

Headlight bulb is blown up. 2 fuses blown. A few wires have been melted. A few connectors burnt/melted. Looks like it's mostly within the charging circuit. I hope the igniter is OK...

It seems that everything else is good. Maybe I can fix this.

That's the spirit!! Hope you can get her back up!

This is an older video from about 3 days ago. I tell you, Bill does good work. The turn around is amazing!

So... Carbs cleaned, rebuilt, and tuned for my bike .

Please let me know what you guys think. I so wanted to rev the bike up to 9,000 RPM but the neighbors...

wow, I would like to know how a sleeve explodes. He had come down to 500.00 last I saw it. Was on Craigs for about 2 years

Wow! 2 years? I got this bike for $400 then I got an engine for another $400. Not too bad.

Yup, that is exactly what happened. Owner let his boss ride it, then the engine blew.

This is what happened. Cylinder sleeve #1 exploded. Chunks of it have been found on the bottom of the oil pan.


Apparently the head was in great shape since a member is using it on their bike right now. But I sold the bottom end off for parts. It might still be good. I don't know.

And I have replaced it with a good running GS1100EZ engine.

This bike has been on craigslist for a quite a few months. I think he wanted $800 for it at first.

Actually, SonicSalmon bought the bike first. But he never got around to doing anything with it so it sat for 5 months until I picked it up

Just caught up on the other thread FC, man that's a sh*&^er!! Sorry to hear that happened...

Hopefully you can check the harness and it's not as bad as you think...

Hey, someone finally bought that bike. I made him a couple offers on it down to 350.00.
what was the deal with the bottom end? He told me a boss took it for a ride and hurd a clunk. He pulled the oil pan and a piece of cylinder sleeve fell out???? I am dying to know what the deal was with that engine.

I would NEVER suggest that you happen to read that this guy's bike has burned to the ground.
Especially NOT after a bunch of time has past and he has forgotten all about you.

Read his other post in Off-Topic Mike. I sure would like to strangle that guy that's for sure.

Oh damn, so what did the one armed monkey manage to do? i mean how do you manage to catastrophically cock it up like that?

That's a shame. Any chance a 700 harness is usable? I have one in workable condition you could have for dirt cheap.

The part numbers are different. I bet that I would have to change some connections to make it work. But I would rather not hack up a harness from a different bike to make it work on mine. Thanks for the offer.

Hey guess what! I let some ******* work on my bike yesterday and it is now completely dead. Well... Electrically. Wiring harness melted, battery toast, blah blah blah.

It will be expensive to fix and I'm ****ed. I'm going to stop working on the bike for a while.
