Here is my latest project. After two weeks it went from sitting in a barn for 13years to running like a top.

My very first GS starter took a crap today. I thought the battery was low the way it cranked. Nope, no more brushes. I wonder how many times I have cycled it in the last 22 years.

Are you selling the little bike on the back?

I'm interested in this one. Do you have more pics?:-D
What a pity that I'm so far away from you guys, I'd love to buy one of those well taken care machines. If I'm lucky, this year or the next I'll get a job programming computers there in the USA. After my arrive, I'll start looking for a GS 1100 or something like it.

Got the lines all hooked up and the tank is under the seat. Everything is just right there and easy to work on. Only thing left is to run the power wire to it. I did removed the fogger lines and power up the soleniods to blow out any junk that may be in there. Looked like 500HP was coming out of the blocks, glad I only need 36hp.

So many bikes and it looks like everyone is having nice weather. The blue GT has my vote!! Very clean looking bike.
Man I love this Bike Bandit place. It is so easy to order parts now. The only down side is that I am spending more money. Waiting to see now if they have the new brushes to rebuild my starter.
We're off to see the wizzard .....
Crank from the little bike, after five years of use....

Did you tear apart your crank yourself and can you put it back together?
I like the GT too and it looks to have a HD dirt track tail.

Hey Mark if you still have that crank apart could you post a few pic's of the spline or notch area's where they press together. I always wonder what they look like. Does it look like a weak area that would be prone to twisting?
Last year I was trying to get a gear puller and a bearing puller to work on my bad crank but just counldn't get it to bite.

These parts will never go back in. They took some damage after the gear gave out.
All the cranks I have seen are round where they press together, even the gear. Yours has splines? What year crank?
(This must be one of those factory welded 83 cranks I keep hearing of)

I thought they all had some type of groove or something just by looking at a parts break down picture.
Now this make's more sence to me about folks saying they twisted a crank. You don't twist a crank you spin the crank at the press point and welding helps prevents the two pieces from slipping.

The transmission (at least mine) are all press fit as well. I have yet to twist a crank, but those 2 second 60' times I run are not going to do a whole lot of damage. My street bikes never made enough power to twist it. I am hoping that the new wrist pins solve the gulling problem once and for all. What did you ever do with that crank you bought that had the one bad rod? Are you using it the way it was? If so, how many passes have you made with it?
Sunday after I put the spare starter in the bike I did another test fire. This time I brought it up on the 2-step. I was amazed how fast the pressure came up with the new head / cam / turbo combination. I bet it was less than a second to hit 5 PSI. It idles a lot smoother now as well.
Looks like Bike Bandit came through again. They shipped the new brushes for my old starter.
The weather is looking good for the weekend, but with the Thunder Nationals running I doubt I will get any track time unless I go today.

That crank was a take it home and pay later but after seeing a few gulling marks I thought it best just to let the owner know what I found. He agreed and I just sent it back. A few folks said they seen worst and would still use it.
So what happen to that gear to do so much damage.
I'm just one more wire anyway and I'll be able to run with you Turbo Guy's
or maybe not ](*,)

Just normal wear and tear. I should have taken some pictures the engine we lost last summer. Dropped a valve. It was a mess.
Your already way past my turbo bike unless your going for a new land speed record. The N2O should help get those couple of MPH difference out. For me to catch your E/T I would need to pack the tail section with TNT. I am sure I will figure it out once I start spending some quality time with it.
More rain came today, so still no track time.
