    Loose Cam Cover Bolts

    I have always installed valve cover gaskets dry with lacquer thinner as a cleaner and wipe the rubber half moons with lacquer thinner until they are not shiny any longer and install them. No RTV or any type sealer anywhere. I have also taken a small punch and punch a few small places around the...

    GS750 running hot

    I would make sure the ignition advancer springs are not fatigued Or the advancer is stuck. Make sure it opens and closes easily. and the springs aren't sagging. If they are worn you will be running in the advanced position all the time. Shoot it with a timing light if you have access to...

    Protect intakes while carbs are off?

    Duct tape , Then baggies taped over them ,Spray a little fogging oil inside before sealing them off also if available of just spray a little WD 40 it's a water dispersant. Like the post below some plumbing rubber plugs or caps sound cool.

    Running lean, how bad is it?

    Lean enough to hole a piston, Sounds like a massive air leak or pilot jet stopped up, Head gasket, excessive carbon build up. or mixture screw turned off on that cylinder. Timing should have holed both pistons running on that coil if it was timing. Maybe a wrong plug installed in that hole also...

    pistons hitting headgasket

    Just wondering why you are not replacing the oil rings and de-glazing the cylinders??? Copper Gaskets Unlimited will make you a gasket if you need one any bore size and thickness and just spray copper coat to both sides and go with it.Just and idea if nothing else works. If it's MLS metal, Why...

    Good find

    As far as the rotor end on the crank I purchased a billet left end from Falicon for the small taper which my 82 1100 has in it . Supposed to be stronger and they also eliminate the small oiling hole in it for the starter clutch bearing. Which was found not necessary and caused weakness. Don't...

    Hairline crack in engine case

    Thanks for the replys. Just for the sake of it or (piece of mind) I believe I will rough it up a little and apply a small amount of some high strength epoxy not JB weld and inspect it at a later time and inspect it to see how or if it held up. Apply it with the clip inserted and a c-clamp to...

    1978 GS1000 Swing Arm Rebuild

    Don't hold me to it but I believe the spacer will slide through the bearings and if any seals will go on each side after the spacer is installed. The needle bearings ride on the spacer not between them.

    Advice on starting after valve shim adjust. She's proving tough

    Like said below Clean or replace the pilot jets and inspect and clean the adj. screws. try 1and1/2turns out up to 3 max and see what that does.

    Hairline crack in engine case

    Sorry to repost. Ray gave me some good info. Just wondering if anything else was out there.While removing and inspecting my clutch a few weeks ago in my 82 GS1100EZ. I noticed a hairline crack in the case where the clutch input shaft goes in to the trans right at the retaining clip groove. I was...

    Flatspot RPM range 4000-6000 RPM 77-79 GS750

    I would possibly check the bowl vents to assure they are vented into a dead air space. Possibly they are exposed to the passing air and creating a negative pressure not allowing the carb bowls to fill fully. Just a thought .I have had this problem in the past on mainly full fairing bikes that...

    Monty campbell x pipe

    Chrome looks cool, But that's where that ends unless you have a show bike., Chrome holds heat and doesn't dissipate it very quickly either. But each there own.

    Advice on starting after valve shim adjust. She's proving tough

    Sounds like to me you may need to recheck your valve clearances since these problems began after the initial adjustment. Do a compression test and a leak down test if you have the access to the proper equipment. This will tell you what is going on inside the engine. Eliminate these factors first.

    APE clutch basket

    Answer the questions below then I think you need to check in with APE and ask them how to shim the clutch basket for trust clearance, It always seems to happen with rebuilt baskets. If wrong the bike will creep and rip off the nuts, and threads on the input shaft. With heli cut gears too are...

    Monty campbell x pipe

    And the I Believe back then we took a pocket full of jets and we changed jet at least 2 times per pipe as to give them a fair advantage.And the X pipe always seemed to act the same richer or leaner. Needle clip positions whatever. All pipes were jetted and tried with and without baffles.Seems...

    Monty campbell x pipe

    I know back in the 80's some friends and I went to the track with a couple different pipes and a stock GS1100 and tried them out to see which one we thought was the best. One of them was a Maxi-X pipe I think they are still around. But the X pipe seemed to pull real good down low (torque) but...
