    oil leak question

    If you have a new 'O' ring and it was installed correctly you have another issue. I agree with SQDancer...You probably have a cover that isn't flat anymore. You need to 'machine' .001-.004 off the cover to ensure flatness. That isn't very much...a sheet of notebook paper is in the .006...

    Tank sealer

    Thanks everyone for your input. Ed, good point..I will contact Por-15 about what they think of a second re-coat with their product. I followed the Por-15 instructions to the letter. I saved the metal ready and did a second treatment with that..still have most of that left over. I used a...

    Tank sealer

    Striped, cleaned and etched the fuel tank, coated inside with Por-15. The leak it had is fixed...but now it is leaking in another spot. I am thinking about drying it out and re-sealing it with another coat of Por-15. Havn't had this bike very long. I believe PO must have let it sit for a...

    1100 clutch springs in a 750

    Will the GS1100 clutch springs fit the 16 valve GS750 (1981). The 1100 springs are about .080 longer than the 750 springs. Anyone ever do this. Need stiffer springs for the hot rodded GS750E. Please advise and thanks. Terry

    Valve shim ?

    Thank you Mike, just what I wanted to know. My GS550 is my first shim over bucket 8 valve engine. All of my other GS's are 16 valve engines with valve adjusters, which I find MUCH easier. Terry

    Depressing 550E

    Does the noise change when clutch is pulled in ? Or when clutch is released ? Might be an easy fix if inside clutch. Not a major rebuild there. You can do clutch service yourself. Broken plates can be noisy. Also a loose hub nut will makes noise. I would pull the clutch cover and take...

    Cable out of adjustment with too much free play and not full engaging clutch,..or steels are warped, only takes one. It isn't anything to do with your carbs or ignition. On properly adjusted clutch you should be able to shift to 1st and back to neutral and back again while stoped with...
