    I have asked a couple of people if they have any on track video of me and the bike but it appears we are actually quite useless at remembering to do that sort of stuff so nothing that I'm aware of :)

    Hopefully the video link works.. this was the 1st start up after the starter clutch upgrade, checking the shim gaps and changing a few shims.

    Starter Clutch Upgrade

    Thanks for bringing up the heat affecting the magnets possibility as I hadn't thought of it. I have run the bike up and have 13.8v at idle rising to 14.4v at 3000 rpm. Let me say I was quite relieved when I saw the figures so all good. I fitted a SH775 R/R a number of years ago so I knew what...

    I figured that I haven't posted any photos of the bike in a while as it has certainly changed over the years :cool: This is at Brands Hatch on a track day

    The saga continues... I was at Brands Hatch racing circuit here in the UK on a track day and while I was attempting to reach terminal velocity I missed a gear when shifting between 4th and 5th on the start finish straight. The engine, unsurprisingly, over revved and not knowing what damage I...

    I bought a very cheap eBay oil temp gauge that came with it's own sensor, you will need to check the thread pitch as they are all slightly different to the Suzuki pitch. My bike was a 1000 S that had been re-framed using a GS1100 so the engine had the oil temp sensor next to the oil pressure...

    Best motorcycle mobile holder for GPS navigation

    I use a Quad Lock as it does exactly what's on the tin. The mount I used is a mirror mount that fits nicely on the handlebar brace, I also bought the vibration reducer and the correct case for my phone. It's a bit pricey but it works properly. There are bargains to be had on the internet if you...

    So, a little while back I mentioned that I was going to fit a wide band lambda and gauge to the bike which has been done. The reason for this was to set up the 33mm smoothbores and before I get into that this is the location of the sensor. The 33's came with 140 mains with standard 17.5...

    17 Tooth 530 Front Sprocket

    Just for info I have been running 17/46 530 on my GS1000 for over a year with no clearance issues or noticeable extra wear on the chain or sprockets, I have a GSX aluminium swinging arm as well.

    MIKUNI Choke plunger seat replacement and Air corrector jets for GS fours VM's

    Just to add to the thread, Rob refurbed my plungers for my 33mm Smoothbores a couple of years ago and I have had no issues since they were done and the improvement on idle was night and day. I cannot recommend the level of service from Rob enough as it is 1st class from a genuine enthusiast.

    Chain and sprokets '79 gs1000e

    If anyone wants some extra bling for the 530 conversion there is a Renthal sprocket that fits the GS 1000, cast or spoke rim. The number is 221U-530-48P-HA. The picture below also lists the other Suzuki's that also have the same sprocket PCD.
