    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.

I like surprises

Took my clutch basket out to put in my high volume pump gears. While i took the clutch basket off I turned it around to discover that it had been welded. Looks like they did something to the springs as well - Here is a picture:

So that was exciting for me. I also did some more looking and saw that the crank seems to be welded. I remember hearing that they were welded from the factory for a few select years, so i'm not sure if this is from the factory or not. There are some numbers written on the crank as well. Here are a few pictures of that:

Also I bought a basket nut for an 1150 as I heard they were slightly thicker than an 1100 nut. On the left is the 1150 nut, and on the right (gold-ish nut) is the one that was on. I just left the gold one on as it looked to be the same/ larger than the 1150 nut and the threads looked fine.

1150 nut is for sure 1/4 thicker and are the same thickness as an APE nut/just not chrome moly.
if suzuki is superseding the nut numbers to a common(1100) then that sucks.
josh has seen my nuts :o there is a big difference.


you have a stock basket thats been welded.
be aware that it is no stronger than stock basket because they did nothing to help the flex that the helical gear causes(thicker chrome moly backing plate & heavier springs).
 
Looks like HD springs and stock back plate. The '83 engines like yours have welded cranks from stock so you should be good to go.
