    1982 GS1000S Katana forks with the Anti-dive, leaking fork seals?

    She is forkless! Just left the upper fairing attached and had plenty of room to work. I need to remove it soon to have it repaired around the signal mount holes but not this go around. For the curious I have it strapped down to the lift on the rear subframe. The jack stands with bar through...

    1982 GS1000S Katana forks with the Anti-dive, leaking fork seals?

    So I figured I would get a service manual like a Clymer to step me through this easier. Nope out of stock at Clymer and my local Suzuki dealer doesn't have a manual either for this 40 year old bike. Found one on ebay but for an incredible $149.99 amount and it was used not even new for that kind...

    1982 GS1000S Katana forks with the Anti-dive, leaking fork seals?

    Time has come they are leaking at the seals and have never been into. The oil has been changed over the 40 years a few times and Suzuki was nice enough to add a drain hole to do that. Now that the seals are leaking I need to remove the forks from the bike which means the Anti-dive must be...

    Cam chain tensioner small oring behind jam nut

    I was planning to not touch anything while apart except replace the leaking oring and reassemble. Just needing a confirmation I can do it by just removing the jam but abs center threaded screw which holds the oring. Then put it back just like I took it apart. I know plenty about the timing of an...

    Cam chain tensioner small oring behind jam nut

    Yes I have but it’s not real clear on the one small thing I need to do. Or maybe I just didn’t follow it very well. Sounds like removing the jam nut and threaded part is simple if it’s left on the bike. Nothing can jump time?

    Cam chain tensioner small oring behind jam nut

    Mine is leaking can I simply loosen the lock nut remove the threaded piece and install a new oring onto it and reassemble? still on the engine of course.

    1980 GS1000G Clutch Cover Oil Seal leaking

    I attempted to tap a small screw into the seal and pull it out. Seal came apart so to speak and I ended up prying the rest up and out with a small screwdriver being careful not to damage the seal mating surfaces or shaft. Wasn't pretty but mission complete. Mine was 40 years old and dry rotten.

    1980 GS1000G Clutch Cover Oil Seal leaking

    I just replaced one in my 82 Katana 1000, pain in the butt to get the old one out without damaging the cover. I managed to get it done with no damage.

    oil pressure sensor removal to repair oil leak

    All is well with the oring replacement. Sensor came out really easy. No drama. Oring was flat in it and hard as a rock. New one on and no leaky. It was barely tight to begin with the old hard oring. I put it in hand tight and 1/4 turn on the new oring. It’s fixed. Also replaced the oring on the...

    oil pressure sensor removal to repair oil leak

    I plan to heat up the engine some running before attempting to remove the plastic sensor. hopefully it won't break but if it does I'll just order a new one and wait for it.

    oil pressure sensor removal to repair oil leak

    It is definitely leaking at the base of the plastic sensor itself. I can see it build up oil there with it idling and wipe it off and it comes right back only at the base of the plastic sensor where it joins the lower aluminum piece. Cam chain tensioner above all that is totally dry.

    Owned this bike for 35 years, 1982 GS1000SZ Katana

    No I have been riding the whole time frame just chasing the latest greatest newest thing. Road raced and rode track for 17 years so that was a huge money pit. This bike meanwhile just sat in an old shop with tractors and lawn equipment for 13 years. I never intended for it to be there that long...

    Owned this bike for 35 years, 1982 GS1000SZ Katana

    lol yea I have been over there since I owned the GSX-S1000 way back in 2016. I just hope I get my GT+ sooner than later. We usually get to ride down here in the winter but the last two winters have been very cold and wet. So there is a lot of idle time now days in the winter in what used to be...

    oil pressure sensor removal to repair oil leak

    I searched the subject and not much of anything on it. The Sensor is plastic, 40 year old plastic. I have ordered a new Suzuki oring. Question is, what am I looking at on this? any tips or not to dos. I know to unplug it then unscrew the plastic sensor and I assume the oring is attached to the...

    Gas tank petcock and ticking sound in gas tank?

    Coils are new OEM suzuki which came with the spacers already on them. The new coils came with the new plug wires already attached as well just cut to fit and screw on your plug caps. All that was needed from me was the stock 10 mm bolts to attach them to the frame mounts. Nothing rattling I...

    Gas tank petcock and ticking sound in gas tank?

    Buy a new petcock from Suzuki? Dealer already quoted me $57 for one before I decided to go the K&L rebuild route which was $24. If this is all it does and continues to work properly which it is right now i can live with the ticking noise. Just was initially concerned about a fire hazard until I...
