1100e or 1100es?

Bike is in my possession, from a quick glance lots of prior PO's carnage.

The young fellow I bought it from realized he was in over his head and had to cut his losses.

Pictures to follow in a few days.

Hey!! I almost bought that same bike this summer!! I thought at the time it was too much. Did you talk him down?? Just curious...

[Fjbj40]

Yup, but it needs LOTS of work

A good deal, but not a steal. I figure by the time I tear it down, blast engine, maybe bore o/s, paint engine, reassemble with OEM gaskets and seals, paint bodywork, paint frame, new tires, rebuild carbs, and whatever else I will spend much money! Not to mention the top end noise issue.

i got a good buy, but it is a winters work, which is what I was after. I get bored if I am not doing anythine!

Why aren't you in a 21 day isolation?

It's not E-bola, it's ES.

(1100, that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, ya hear?)

 

[Fjbj40]

LOL, would love to be. No students that way and I could have fun tearing this thing apart.

Once I finish with my classes and all the marking I will begin.

You're a teacher? You should ALWAYS be in an isolation bubble. Classrooms are just a bubbling cesspool of viral infections at the best of times, LOL!

 

[Fjbj40]

Yes,I teach at a college.

all schools a cesspool, some good germs, some bad ones!:encouragement:

Lol, BC= bring cash!

LOL...I hadn't heard that one before but I like it.....{ and quite true too }

 

[Rob S.]

Yes,I teach at a college.

I did too. The classroom was mostly a place for the students to charge their phones. They would come early, before all the outlets were taken.

Even the good students, the successful ones. First things first: "Where can I plug in my phone?"

 

[Fjbj40]

Scary scary isn't it! So true, I walk down the hall, their heads down walking. I stop, let them collide with me, makes the point and they soon start lifting their heads.

i just facilitate, if they want to play with their devices it's their choice. Pass mark is 70, they quickly realize to pay attention and put away their devices.

Good looking motorcycle Fjbj40 I think it will clean up nice. Perhaps I'll get to see it in person. I'm planning a motorcycle vacation to Nova Scotia next summer. It sure looks beautiful in your neck of the woods and I love seafood...

 

[Fjbj40]

If you come this way just PM me and we will meet up:encouragement:

So I tore into the valve cover to try and figure out noise. It was like a rattling sewing machine.

did not take long to find problems





not good, but doesn't explain the noise, but this does





looks like the cam tower locating bushing



The noise was coming from the #4 intake area and that is exactly where I found that little guy.

Appears as if someone has been in here before, they used gasket maker instead of a gasket. She smokes, 3 and 4 plugs are a nice tan color. But 1 and 2 are oily.

Prior to this I gave the engine a thorough degreasing. Lots of oil and grease plus paint came off.

 

[Fjbj40]

I will be pulling the cams tomorrow, hopefully saddles are OK.

So am I safe in assuming the rockers need replacement or can I reface them?

Daryl

 

[blowerbike]

looks like a dowel floating around in there got smashed.
take a look and if you want to install some 1150 cams let me know.
plus if you need any dowels i have a coffee can full.
same goes with rockers...i have plenty including GSXR rocker sets.

the rocker can be hard welded at around 65.00 each.
they can't be reground only replaced or hard welded.

 

[Fjbj40]

Are the GSXR rockers longer? If so this would effectively increase lift over standard rockers would it not?

 

[Fjbj40]

Saddles are perfect, no visible wear or scoring of any sorts.

weird taking off the cam caps though, they were very tight, typical from people being heavy handed. But when the torque broke there was a puff of air each time, also some water shot out, droplets!!?

So cam time, but I will pull the jugs off tomorrow and check cylinders, measure and see where I go from here.

cheers,
Daryl
