    I've got the same issue with my GS450, and the worm gear is properly adjusted. I had the clutch cover off before, the fibers didn't look very good to me but I was wanting to ride after doing so much work to it. I did put new EBC clutch springs in. I have some new fibers, just need to install...

    1982 GS400E running on 1 cylinder

    That relay didn't have two 87 outputs...it had an 87 (Normally Open) output and an 87a (Normally Closed) output. Take a closer look or perhaps it was mislabeled.

    Wont start, has spark, getting fuel ???

    When you reset the timing, are you referring to ignition timing or valve timing (chain)? If you're off by one tooth it can make a considerable difference in compression. If you don't have compression, it won't pull air/gas through the carbs. Have you checked the clearance on the valves...

    Stuck exhaust bolts

    Center punch center and drill it out. Even if it isn't quite centered, once you get near the threads, it should turn out easily...ask me how I know. Welding a nut worked for one of my bolts, but the others just didn't want to budge.

    Possible Frozen Pistons??

    intake boots

    new o-rings? That's the intake pipe (13110-44100) that screws into the cylinder head. 09280-40010 is the O-ring that goes between the intake pipe and cylinder head.

    Need help. Just replaced chain and now too much side to side slack

    The washer is supposed to be bent over opposing flats on the nut...safety reasons. According to the JT Sprocket site, those are the correct sprockets for your bike and the correct chain, 530-114 links. I have the same brand chain (purchased from Amazon.com), and haven't had this issue. Same...

    Got the oscilloscope out and hooked it up to the signal generator coils, made sure everything was good there. No loss in signal, so those checked out good. Then hooked it up to the coil outputs of the igniter. The left coil output stayed strong and steady, but the right coil output started to...

    81' gs450sx timing question ( light vehicle mechanic now playing with bikes)

    I had to play with mine a little bit. At first I had the #1 arrow slightly above the gasket surface, 130psi on both cylinders. Then I moved it one tooth (keeping the 18 teeth spacing) and the #1 arrow was below the gasket surface, 170psi both cylinders. If I remember correctly, the Clymer's...

    Stripped exhaust bolt, very messy attempt

    Try welding on the bolt and building it up so it sticks out. You can try welding a nut onto that, but I've had better luck using vise grips on said weld.
