82 gs1100g splines?

[Grandpa]

seuadr,
keep the splines lubricated with moly paste and chek for wear whenever you change your rear tyre
the splines wont fail you inbetween the tyre changes if they look ok at the time of the tyre change
the part is readily available and will be for years to come so no need to keep one in the garage
spend money elsewhere me thinks

All that in one sentence! Whew!

What's a capital?

Ya know, if it had a chain and sprockets on it, you could find a replacement set anywhere and set it up with any ratio you wanted, and not ever worry about how soft the teeth are....


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Thank you, Steve! I aim to please and entertain -- and tell it like it is.

I'm an old-fashioned SOB, and won't read a bunch of uncapitalized, run-on sentences. The younger generation may think it's cool.

I think it's stupid.

hey grandpa, younger generation here

Yes, you definitely should use apostrophes when appropriate. On the keyboard, the apostrophe is located to the right of the semicolon; this latter punctuation mark is, by the way, extremely useful in avoiding run-on sentences.

I suppose your keyboard's shift key doesn't work, does it?

By the way, I learned English as a second language. If I can learn and use punctuation and capitalization properly, so can you.

Enough of this thread for me. I'm out. Have fun, psyguy!

This sentence doesn't actually make any sense. You are making a statement and asking a question in one sentence. Which is it?

By the way, I learned English as a second language.

To be technically correct this should probably be a hyphen, not a comma.

If I can learn and use punctuation and capitalization properly, so can you.

Except you spell capitilisation wrong. You actually write and speak 'American' not English. True English is probably only taught in England.

I actually agree about the punctuation thing. It annoys me as well and makes the post very difficult to read and understand. I always keep in mind the saying about 'people that live in glass houses' though.

zooks, you never fail to amuse me mate, never


i know, i know, i havent used proper english expression nor punctuation nor grammar
let alone the spelling

now, what was this thread about again?

 

[Nessism]

I'm the worlds worst speller and make tons of mistakes myself...but I try to put my posts together so they are easy to read. I can deal with the no caps thing (although It's just plain lazy in my view), but the no spaces between sentences (or even worse, no sentences) is a deal breaker for me - I don't read those posts very often thus don't help those people as much as others. I'm one grade less grumpy than Grandpa...but closing fast.

Something about splines, I think.



Personally, I think a new set of splines would be a fantastic use of the original poster's limited funds. This is a well-known weakness that can be easily corrected, so I think it's a great idea to go ahead and do so when it's convenient.

Motorcycles are a lot like aircraft -- failure in flight can be extremely inconvenient and downright messy.

 

[Grandpa]

Zooks, I did not spell "capitalization" incorrectly. I spelled it correctly, in proper American English. I speak American English, and am quite proud of it.

The sentence that ends in "does it" is written in a colloquial manner, which is not improper in this forum or in less formal American English. True English is spoken in the United States of America as well. I won't accept your ridiculous premise about true English being the property of the English. That's just BS.

The comma at the end of "By the way" is correctly placed in American English.

So don't give me the crap about "living in glass houses."

So let's end this stupidity, shall we? I'm glad you and I agree about the need for people to use punctuation for the sake of clarity.

This time I'm really out.

 

[Steve]

That would be nice, but please don't use them in plurals.

Suzuki do it in a small tube too....

Me too!

Me too!

Say there Seuadr, tell me, where do I sign up for financial aid for motorcycle expences?

.

I don't just need money for parts. I need money for a whole bike :dancing:.

 

[rustybronco]

Chuck Hahn might still have an old style spline for sale. P.M. him and ask if He do.

 

[Giblet]

ok, i got my financial aid check today, and i'm gonna replace these bad puppies.. what bikes should i be looking for them off of? i'm planning on probably buying new, and i believe someone said a newer gs "G" had the same spline.. is it the gsxr1100g?

I have an '81 model (good type) on my bench. We're heading out to church in a couple of miniutes so I'll send you a pic this evening when I get home.

 

[Steve]

To butt in here if I could, can you just throw a little wheel bearing grease in there?

Yeah, you could. Would it do any good? Probably not.
Regular wheel bearing grease is made to be used in sliding situations, where rollers are sliding/rolling in a race. The splines only slide when you take the wheel off or put it back on. The grease is there to absorb the impact of one gear driving another. The higher the moly (molybdenum disulfide) content, the better it will work. Keep in mind that many grease products you can buy at your favorite auto parts store that claim to be "moly" products will contain about 3-5% moly. This is accurate and legal. However, the Moly 60 paste from Honda is 60% moly, making it about 15 times better than what you can buy at Auto Zone.

Ya know, if it had a chain and sprockets on it, you could find a replacement set anywhere and set it up with any ratio you wanted, and not ever worry about how soft the teeth are....Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Yeah, but you will have to do that quite regularly, even with proper cleaning and lubrication (which take extra time, not counting all the time it takes to clean that rear wheel). Over the course of the life of the bike (100,000 miles?) you will have to change several chains and sprockets, we might have to change ONE set of splines.

I'm the worlds worst speller and make tons of mistakes myself...

Oh, no you're not. Just take a quick look down a few Craig's List ads, you will soon discover that you are quite the scholar. :clap:
