    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...

Wrong Starter Clutch Kit

Bought a new starter clutch kit for my GS1000G. Tried to install it today, and it seems to be the wrong one. The bolt holes for the clutch don't match those on the rotor. The new gear has a smaller ID than the existing one. The existing bearing won't fit in it. There is only one bearing in the gear. The parts fisch says there should be two bearings (for both the 1000G and 1100G). I'm wondering if this may be an 1100G motor, but I really don't know how to tell. Is the crank diameter different on them? The spacer between the rotor and the starter clutch body looks like that on the 1100 parts fisch, not round like the one on the 1000G parts fisch.

I would like to figure out what I have before spending more money.

Any ideas?
 
Mystery solved. The old nail has an 1100 engine in it. I've owned it 8 years or more and never knew.

It doesn't feel particularly more powerful than a 1000G to me, but then I've never han any of my three in the same state at the same time.

Any idea how to tell the year from the engine number?

All the 1100G engine numbers start with U701-. My '83 parts bike was first registered in NZ in May '83. It has the "D shaped" exhaust ports and it's serial number is U701-113443. The '82 engines still had the round shaped exhaust ports. The D shape is apparent when looking closely around the valve guide area. Hope this helps you to identify yours.;)
