    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...

    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.

Suzuki GSX1100 -80 engine in a -81 GS1000G

Hello!

I've recently aquired a 1981 Suzuki GS1000G, shaft drive.
The engine has problems with the starter, guessing it is the starter clutch issue.
I'm wondering if the GSX1100 -1980 engine will fit in the frame, are the engine mounts the same?
I know that engine is for chain drive, that is one of the reasons for the swap as i've got a set of R1 rims lying around which would be a nice improvement.

Thanks,

Peter
 
Totally different engines, it won't work. Not only would you have to change all the mounts, but the swingarm as well and that would be a nightmare.

Ofcourse i would have to change that. I have access to a full mechanical workshop with lathes, mills, welding equipment and all sorts of material. I like nightmares.
But thanks for your reply, now i know that it will be more trouble than i was hoping.
