Ok time for an update. My girlfriend got her small bike license today and we picked up her frame from the powder coaters. So her zzr250 is ready to go back together.
So if i want to keep up with her i had better get my Suzuki done too. At the moment it hasnt changed since my last post. Its a bare freshly powder coated frame and several boxes of bits.
As you all probably know these gs1000 motors are a snug fit so i really dont want to put it in twice. It has some rattles so im contemplating a rebuild but to what extent im not sure.
If i could find a strong motor in good condition i could paint and polish it and put it in. On the other hand i have a reasonable motor that could do with some love.
So i welcome your opinions and suggestions as to what i do next. Im also open to minor mods to make her get up and go. I look forward to hearing your ideas.
Also if anyone has a good motor modded or not that is for sale let me know. It might be just the thing.

If the motor runs ok but just "has some rattles" then perhaps it just needs a good valve adjustment and carb balance?
If that's the case, I'd clean it up and stick it in and take care of the maintenance as is.
I'd rather have a motor I know is ok but needs a little TLC than one I have no idea what the history is...

Those 1000 are fairly "noisy" motors.Search cam....shot can't remember the term used.The cams move slightly from side to side.Sounds bad but there seems to be no problems with it.from what I have read not all of them do this.I'd just do what Pete said and check that.
Edit: Cam walk.Posted to early in the morning here.

Clutches rattle too. If the carbs are badly out of sinch, that can make the clutch rattle quite alarmingly at idle.
Do the valve maintenance and guage sync the carbs. Check to be sure the clutch hub nut is tight and that the lock tab is in good shape. Once all thats done it should quiet right down The symptom of cam walk really isnt any big deal there was a thread a while back where someone posted how they machined the ends ans made shims to stop cam walk..if anyone has that link then repost it please.

Thanks guys. I am aware of some of these potential problems. Im just afraid to do the above mentioned things and get it back in the bike and find it still clunking. It only does it at idle so hopefully it will be one of these minor jobs. If i get it together and its still noisy i can always drop it off at a mechanic. Then they can fix any scratches they put on the frame.

Can anyone tell me if a 1983 gsx750 front wheel fender is the same as a 1980 gs1000 one?
