    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    Certainly. Every manual always specs to replace that folding lock washer upon disassembly across any bike I’ve ever wrenched. I’ve always reused them to no detriment. thankfully, that past-service-limit lock washer was there, it was the only thing holding the nut from backing off completely...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    I see, I was assuming that it was welded from the factory. It’s never given me trouble yet, so I will carry on with it as is. And thanks, I think the OEM nut and the loctite will sort me out just fine. My days of pushing this bike to any type of limit are done. Probably. If a moderator wants...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    I’ll add that the engagement part of the gear (some call those parts “teeth” LOL) looks great (from a very preliminary inspection). Nothing jumped out as a problem. Also about the Clutch Hub Nut… I have seen that APE offers a billet clutch hub nut for $36 that claims to be better than the OEM...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    Does this warrant a new thread? Questions about clutch part wear… I got a 83 1100 motor in October. Top end claimed to be good and tested and proven. TBD… but the engine was missing peripherals.. stator&cover, starter, ignition, clutch&cover… so I’m pulling my motor apart to harvest good parts...

    Front Suspension

    cannot provide a certified psi number for you, but I seem to remember that mine was in the single digits for the 1100. not much. with regard to your fork oil swap, there is a small Phillips screw and copper washer on the bottom of your fork legs that is a drain plug for fork oil. you can...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    OK now lets get one thing straight..... I think this motor is more Fkedup than it's worth. I broke into it last night, took a lot of photos. I'll host them up in Google photos here in a bit. Top ring on Cyl 4 and Cyl 2 were broken to pieces. Pieces from Cyl2 migrated into the chamber and...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    progress is static since getting the GS engine to the basement. I acquired a proper bike for the track, (2009 zx6r) and have spent the evenings after work changing tires. i'm at work and since I cant wrench I can ONLINE SHOP!! I don't want to purchase anything until I get the head removed from...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    Engine is out and has been brought into the basement for further inspection and disassembly. i wonder what sort of brass screws could have gone missing?? Air cleaners were intact, carburetors seem complete and functioning regularly. I’m very anxious to break into the top end tonight (hopefully).

    Here’s the inspection video. My wife helped me cut it together and she lightened the mood with her sound effects library. re:running, I think it ran on the ground for a bit, not too long tho…. Less that 20 seconds??

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    very curious as to what the mode of failure was, more info will come when the engine is opened up. after the crash @ the track, my ignition cover was broke, the dyna pickups were broke, and the bolt holding that assembly to the crank was bent pretty bad. I was initially worried that there was...

    81 gs1100e, a top end rebuild story

    it's time for a rebuild. Not sure what happened, but I will find out here soon. Took the bike to the track, had a great day, bike was running really great, until I lost a oil cooler hose, the engine oil spilled onto the track, and my engine, and my rear tire, and I went down. rebuilt the bike...

    Voltage regulator dead after crash

    Got it sorted out. i have a good FA020 on my kawi ninja that has the same harness plugs, I swapped the SH775 over to the ninja and it worked just fine. Must be wires…. But all the wires spec’d out ok without current thru them. eventually saw some smoking from the 3 yellows, melted the...

    Voltage regulator dead after crash

    Physical trauma, I thought, didn’t do these things much damage…. But since after my get off (that broke zero plastics and damaged zero wires), I’m only getting a half a volt out of my regulator. have 18vAC from each pair of stator wires at idle, 50vAC at revs. Good solid connection to ground...

    81 11e timing with a Dyna S

    The Dyna instructions indicated to hold the rotor to full advance and time based on that mark, which only existed from the factory on the 1-4 side. either way, it runs decent in the driveway so far. bringing it to a friend tonight to weld some new aluminum on the inside of the timing cover...

    81 11e timing with a Dyna S

    Motor runs, runs pretty strong in neutral. no leaks haven’t done a test ride yet, still have some aesthetic work to do but as a fun feature, the bike isn’t charging the battery @ this time. Connections all seem solid. Oh well. Another thing to troubleshoot before Monday’s track day and imminent...

    81 11e timing with a Dyna S

    Carved up the Dyna S aluminum plate, added a few more mm of clockwise adjustment, and was able to get the light to go on at the right times. posting for those who come here with similar struggles. will report back again when the motor is running.

    81 11e timing with a Dyna S

    Hi im installing the Dyna S onto my engine. It’s going the same as it did last time, a year or two ago. As I’m finding the timing for cylinders 1&4, I need to rotate the whole plate all the way clockwise. Even then, I’m still a tiny bit off when timing for the full advance marks with the rotor...
