    1982 GS1100gl project

    While waiting for my rear cam chain adjuster from the UK I thought I would install the lower end so I could install the swing arm and rear wheel.

    Grip glues

    I used to use Dawn dish soap. Wipe some on the bars and slide them on. Have to let them sit overnight or they will spin but when dry they are not going anywhere. Now I use the air method with no glue. If you have a compressor use your air nozzle. Start the grip and use the air nozzle and blow...

    The rebuild has started

    So the smaller bikes use the same oil to lubricate the output gears, my 82 GS110GL has a separate cavity for gear lube that needs to be separated from the engine oil. Kinda a pain to deal with As far as engine oil, you can use any 10w-40 motorcycle oil designed for wet clutch. You do not need...

    The rebuild has started

    How about the seals that separate the gear box oil from the transmission oil. And the o-rings on the secondary and output shafts.

    1980 GS1000G Clutch Cover Oil Seal leaking

    I just ordered a double lip seal for $7.00 on Ebay. Since I wanted to polish the cover I used a drift to push the seal/bearing and shaft all at once. Did a good cleaning on everything. Polished the cover.Installed the original bearing and now waiting on the seal. You could just tap on the shaft...

    1982 GS1100gl project

    I also got one of the $7.50 rear end polished. Im waiting on my cylinders which are on there way from APE. Since I could not find any next size overbore pistons I ended up going with the Wisco 1134 kit which is 2mm over stock.

    1982 GS1100gl project

    Well I am back working on the GS after taking some time to do a little riding in Arizona and working on the other project in my shop, a Z1900. I got the last of the seals for the engine so I managed to seal the cases today. I have been using Loctite 518 for the cases and have been very happy...

    Accident o

    Glad to hear you are doing better. The femur will take some time. I was broadsided by a ST1300 back in 2011 which broke the left femur along with other things so I know what you may be feeling. Hang in there. I would say you had a good run with riding but it sucks to end your riding days with...

    Cam Chain Tensioner Guide...reuse or replace?

    I have an APE unit from Z1E coming so we will see. I also have an email for these guys. Again they don't mention 8 valve or 16 valve engines. You think they would. There are a lot of 8 valve engines out there.

    Cam Chain Tensioner Guide...reuse or replace?

    My thoughts exactly. I will probably buy one if no one can give me a definite answer.

    Cam Chain Tensioner Guide...reuse or replace?

    This is an old thread, but has anyone used the APE rear guide. Jay posted his link for the guide. The original post was from an owner of a 1982 GS1100GLZ which is a 8 valve engine. I have the same bike and don't want to put that 40 year old part back in. Well I have talked to APE and they claim...

    1982 GS1100gl project

    Well I turned my attention to then rear drive. The drive looked a little rusty and was lacking grease. The gear on the final drive had some rounded splines so the search was on for a good replacement. I was lucky to find two good hubs close to me which I could physically check. I had been...

    I wish I had a lathe, milling machine, a friend of mine does. The tool was easy to make in an hour or so.

    1982 GS1100gl project

    So there are several seals that seal the transmission from the drive gears which run in gear lube. You don't want these to leak so to replace the seal I needed to make a tool to compress the large spring on the counter shaft. I cobbled some parts together for a spring compressor. a 12mm bolt...

    Now that I have 98% of the wiring done I can start to replace all the seals in the lower unit and get that in the frame. I like to install a relay to power my ignition rather than relying on the kill switch for power, the relay gives me full battery power through the relay. The kill switch...

    GS650GZ Katana Rebuild (Historical)

    Nice job, that's the way I install my engines. I build a small bench that sits last a bit higher than the lower frame tube and then put my scissors jack in the middle at the same height as the small bench and slid it in. lower the engine in the mounts and done. Easy to do by yourself.

    1982 GS1100gl project

    The bike came with a Dyna 2000 ignition which was mounted poorly in a hard to get to spot to read the dials and observe the led indicator for timing. I got my laser cutter programed and cut out a new plate for mounting, ya right. How bout some tin snips / drill / and hammer to straighten it back...
