    GS1000s Clutch Help

    Yes I checked it. There was little to no spring rattle. I used the stock nut, which by the way was loose. Used blue locktite and an impact installing the nut. Guess I need to buy the APE nut and put it on the shelf for next time I am in there. Also noticed the idle was smoother with clutch...

    GS1000s Clutch Help

    I have looked at the photos and read all the replies. The outer basket has normal wear with nothing out of the ordinary present. I cleaned up the damage in my photo with a small file and emery cloth. It cleaned up very nicely. The area that was pointed out that looked like a crack in the photo...

    GS1000s Clutch Help

    Thanks for the opinions. Interesting that roughly half say replace and half say clean up and reuse. I am traveling right now and looking at the replies in a phone. I'll go through the replies more carefully and take a better look at the everything when I get back home in a few days. Thanks Rich

    GS1000s Clutch Help

    I have been having issues with the clutch not disengaging since I got the bike after it sat for about 15 years. I have been having to rev the bike up pretty good and pop the bike in gear standing on the rear brake to free up the plates. This morning I pulled the clutch apart thinking I could...

    GS1100G Popping on Overrun

    I am checking in on this thread to see if the decel popping has been fully cured? I put 30 miles on my old GS1000s this morning. First ride in 17 years. It pops a lot on decel. When I redid the bike I replaced the old V&H 4-1 with stock air box with a Delkevic and Pods. When I had the carbs...

    Tscu rebuilding

    Reviving an old thread. Still working on resurrecting my GS1000s. Look like the TSCU is dead for the left signal. If I do the twin flasher trick listed in post 21 and 48 of this thread, do I need the original flasher under the left side cover at all? Thanks

    Front Brake Rotors 79 GS1000s

    That is exactly what I was planning to do. I have set of trudisk resurfaced slotted rotors and a newly overhauled set of front calipers also from a 1980. I assumed the calipers would bolt right on. When I went to mount them on 79 forks the bolt spacing was off a little bit to mount the...

    530 Chain Conversion - sprocket size & Chain length

    I'll do that and report back before cutting anything. I was reading another thread where the person had 50 instead of 49 rear sprocket and cut one link that the hainm was too short. Will go back to the chain after I finish putting the clutch cover back on. This is on a GS1000S it it makes any...

    530 Chain Conversion - sprocket size & Chain length

    So I have my 530 chain kit from Z1. It looks pretty much like picture a couple posts down. It has 18x49 sprockets and 116 link chain. When I put the chain on with adjusters in the middle, the chain looks very loose. I am hesitant to cut any links, but but before I install and rivet the master...

    New Member Question - Polaris Voltage Rectifier

    I am in the process of reviving my old GS1000s and I going to use an SH775 along with a new stator. The SH775 is a lot bigger than the stock part. Where/how are people mounting the SH775? Thanks

    GS1000 Gas Tanks

    Thanks for the info on the place that repairs tanks. The closet place that does them is in Houston. I plan on getting my tank back from the painter, getting it repaired myself and then returning it to the painter. I will let you know how it turns out.

    GS1000 Gas Tanks

    Thanks guys. My bike is a 79. Guess I would need a 78 or 79 tank. The tank has had POR 15 in it for about 15 years already. Recoating is probably not a good option at this point with out removing the POR 15 and starting over again.

    GS1000 Gas Tanks

    Other than the emblems, does anyone know what the differences are between a regular GS1000 fuel tank and a Wes Cooley tank. My Wes Cooley tank is at the painter and according to the painter has a minimum for 50 pins holes along the seems. I am looking for another tank to send to the painter...
