    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Basic reliability?

So from what I have read here, in a GS1000 you should get a better clutch basket(or modify yours), change the nut for it, weld the crank.

Please explain to me the different oil pump gears and associated parts to have a higher pressure oil pump in my bike. Why do I need this in a roller bearing crank?

Straight spline clutch basket. Is this from a 750 and what crank, gear rod combo does it use?

Anything else?

Thanks,


Toddk

the oil pump gears from a GS750 will give you higher volume oil flow around the engine as the gears are a higher ratio than the 1000. not higher pressure just more volume of flow.
the crank dosent need to be welded but its expensive to get it done right.
the clutch basket, make sure the plates and springs are good, and no play in the shock absorbing springs on the back plate

The GS1000 does seem more prone to clutch hub noise than other GS bikes for some reason, maybe because the basket is open and the noise gets out? You can shim the springs and weld the basket back up if yours makes noise. The cranks are not prone to move so welding is not necessary unless you are building up a hot rod. And same goes for the oil pump gears, not necessary but might be nice if you add an oil cooler.
