    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

How the heck do you get cases apart?

I've pulled all the bolts I can see, and some I couldn't. I tapped in a utility blade. It opens a fraction then closes after I pull the blade out. Did I miss a bolt, or is it just this tough? Do I need to take the oil pick up out of the motor in order to split the cases? I ask because the head of one of the screws (WHY DID THEY USE SCREWS!) is stripped.
 
Did yu take the one in the front center put that comes in from the bottom? How about removing the oil pan and removing the one next to the oil pick up tube??
 
I don't know about your bike but a GS 1000 has a special tapped spot on the front of the case where you screw in a bolt and it spreads the upper and lower cases apart. Take a look and see if there is one on your 1100.

thanks, you guys are awesome. This site is one of the best I've ever seen for knowledge-based resources. It was the two bolts under the starter. It came right apart after that. Bonus, it looks like the transmission is already undercut. I'm no pro but the dogs look very angled. I'll post some pictures in a different thread later tonight. Thanks again.

Indeed. I have been working on replacing a motor in my Honda Accord and have posted to 3 different Honda sites for over a week with barely any help from any of them. There is so much knowledge and help on this site and the members are ACTIVE. Love it.
 
SOME of the trans dogs are cut from the factory. It's the others that are the issue. Call me tomorrow before 1pm, Pacific time John.
Ray.
 
Thought it was too good to be true. I'll give you a call tomorrow, thanks.
