    GS1000 / 1100 / 1150 Cam Guide Holder

    Anyone looking to part ways with a cam guide holder? The one that bolts to the lower case… it’s part # 12776-49000; and looks like it was used in all GS1000s, 1100s and 1150s. -Tom

    1980 GS1100L. Putting it back on the road

    It's the only L with the 16v motor and chain drive. Unfortunately, like other L models it has a 16" rear tire, and like other '80 models it has that dreaded petcock. I have one with closer to 50k on the clock that still rips around pretty good and doesn't burn too much oil. The jetting sounds...

    Camshaft Regrind

    Good to know. Thank you. I mailed them off, We’ll see how they turn out.

    Camshaft Regrind

    They do offer lobe build up, but it starts getting ip there in cost. My thoughts were to have them clean up what’s necessary on the exhaust cam’s nose, then grind additional base circle to make them more like gs1150 cams; which I believe are same duration as the early 1100 cams with an...

    Camshaft Regrind

    I’ll search for Ray’s post. The nose of two lobes on the exhaust cam is nicked up. It’s not terrible and the rocker wasn’t too beat up that I can remember…. It’s been a dozen years since I replaced all that. I’m trying to find the old rockers for Delta to hard face, but haven’t tracked them down...

    Camshaft Regrind

    Anyone know the minimum base circle you can run on 16v cams before you start running into geometry issues? I have a couple of stock cams that are beat up on the nose a bit. Delta Cam in Tacoma can match the existing profile to the damaged lobes. I’m wondering if they can reduce the base circle...

    Wheel Spacer Spacer

    Maybe others are aware of this trick…. I wish I thought of it years ago. https://youtu.be/A6ARSb2q9W8

    1980 GSX1100 front end swap

    Short of breaking off the schrader valve, I don?t know how anyone can bugger up the air system. It?s not really a system, just additional pressure.

    Perfect Idle and rev up while standing. Stutters and jerks when driving

    Is the advance mechanism free?

    Could I get an ID on this Suzuki non-runner?

    The Suzuki is a GS750LT. You can tell by the stator cover.

    Shinko 230s or 712s?

    I don’t think I’ll be approaching 130 anytime soon.... I pulled the trigger on the 712s. Mostly just to try for myself.... and save $15.

    Shinko 230s or 712s?

    I know the difference is probably slight?. As is the price. I?m going to put about 1,000 miles on my GS1100 in the driftless area of SW Wisconsin in a couple of weeks, and thought fresh tires would be nice. I have 230s on it right now with no complaints?. But it?s 3 year old rubber? and the rear...

    Dynatek S Issue

    My experience with dynatek customer service has been great as well.... very knowledgeable about their products. I’m guessing the difference between the two is the length of the rotor. They’re easy enough to shave down at home as long as the slots for the advanced weights are deep enough... even...

    Cylinder Head Won't Budge

    It doesn’t take much... in my case it was the locating dowels that didn’t want to let go.

    Cylinder Head Won't Budge

    I just came across the same issue on a CB750 I’m taking apart.... I used a foot long left over length of hand rail through the cylinder and gave it a couple whacks with a hammer. I just held the cylinder block with one hand. Not a very eloquent solution, but it works.
