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.

    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.

I am assuming that you are talking about a GS550 engine?
The only engines that benefit from switching to GS750 oil pump gears are the GS 850/1000/1100/1150. The GS550 already has the 750 gear on the clutch and a large gear on the pump.

yes this is a 550 motor we're talking about. so they smaller bikes have higher oil flow rates? do you know why this is?
 
really weird ? here, would it be possible to set up a pseudo-drysump system? with a medium sized reservoir for the oil placed where the air box would regularly go? or is that just youthful foolishness?:o

i guess so but you would need an external oil pump, probably electric would be easiest, then work out where you would plumb it in. you would also need a return feed to the tank as well which could prove the tricky part
 
assuming that I did build a system that would pump oil from the reservoir, I would send the oil from the tank to the distribution gallery behind the jugs under the carbs? essentially relocationg the oil storage from the oil pan to the tank? Isn't there a heatsink of some kind which is related to the charging system that is submerged in the oil pan? how would this affect the operation of my motor as this is obviously going out of the scope of intended operation?
 
where dose the clutch hub get its oil from? It seems that there is an oil orifice on the shaft that the clutch mounts to,(what is the correct name?) but I cannot figure out where this orifice is fed from, it seems to be the inside of the shaft, where the push rod for the clutch is. I have a spare gearset which was removed from an identical bike which I am using for my R&D.

you can see the oil feed arrows to the countershaft and gears quite clearly in the pic in post #10
