    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1100 w/small crank taper...

How easy do these break? I just picked up an 1100 motor with the small taper. I need a starter clutch/rotor for it, but I'm wondering if it will be worth messing with. It's only going to be a street bike, so no turbos or crazy cams.

Anybody ever snap one at the oil hole?

I can't mortgage my house right now to get a crank done up...:(
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but the 1980 crank is the one with the oil hole in it. The later model small tapers aren't hollow like the 80 is. I broke a hollow left end on my dragbike. It ran several seasons outboard starting and then almost a season with the stator/starter clutch on the end. Broke right as I shifted into third.

I still run the small taper, but I have GRC put a late model small taper on for me. Never a hollow end again.
 
With a street bike, that you aren't putting 200 horsepower to, you will be fine unless the crank has an internal flaw you just can't see & you would be screwed anyway. Ray.
 
Any of you guys have a small taper rotor/starter clutch you would be willing to part with?

I think I'm just going to run it and see what happens.
