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...

Clutch compatability between 81 and 83 1100E

Does anyone know if the clutch assemblies between these two bikes are the same? At the very least the plates and disks?
 
I believe tht the 81 through 83 E engines are all the model gs1100x and would be interchangable. The model number is stamped on the block directly behind the lever that is connected to the clutch cable end. I think hat checking bike bandit for part numbers is the smart move though.
 
Yeah, I tried BikeBandit, but got a little confused. I decided to cross reference 4 parts to check compatability- driven gear, hub, plate and fiber disk. All parts cross referenced the same except the fiber disks. Do you think I am safe to use my new clutch in the 81 for the 83?
 
they mostly have a 9 disk setup. call one of the 800 numbers for star racing or the like and ask them. Those folks are suzuki 1100 experts. I cant believe that someone on this site isnt sure of the answer to this. i am fairly positive that the 82 ans 83 1100e clutches interchange.

Right HAP????
 
That shouldn't be a problem. Hell I'm running an 1150 inner hub with a billet 1100 basket.

1980 gs1100 LT. Basically the same motor as the gs1100e. My topend right now is from a 1982 gs1100e. It's a big mish mosh of parts.
