1983 Suzuki GS1100ED --- "Big Boy"

OK. I will do a search for clutch rattle.

I do realize that I have the oil pressure switch. But I have no idea how a wire would connect to it. And yes, my oil switch is missing the hole for a oil temp.

This is the stock oil pressure switch that I pulled off from this engine. Why would it not have the oil temp switch built into it? An '82 GS1100EZ gauge cluster also has the oil temp gauge, right?

A stock '82 1100ez would have the oil temp sensor. How many bolts on your valve cover? 20 bolt is 80-81 24 bolt would be 82-83.
The clutch rattle is from the springs on the inside of the clutch basket. You cant see them unless you take the basket out. If they are bad enough your basket could come apart and make a real mess of the engine inside. Other than that it is real annoying.

Yah missed a spot!

I missed 4 spots . But I was really tired from 3 hours straight of sanding by hand so I needed a break. Maybe I will get to it later today.

Yah missed a spot!

Right side cover started as this.


Became this 1 hour later.


And then 3 hours from start.


Still need to sand off those little bits but I'll get to it later.


Thanks to SVSooke, I now have a fuse box cover. It's not bolted on and is not tucked under the black cover yet. Just a mock up.

they sell whats called "sandable primer" goes on thick to fill imperfections and you can build up layers to hide ridges and what not. and sand it smooth between coats. look into it. ya gotta primer it anyways.

Well, it's not really needed anymore since I feathered out all of the edges. I'm just gonna sand it all the way down. Besides, my carbs will be in the mail tomorrow so I have nothing else to do again haha!

The primer that I use is Dupli-Color's autobody filler primer.
