    I'm attempting to pop off this cover. I tried using the clutch lever and some judicious tapping with a dead blow......secrets?

    *never mind*.....got it!

      You guys is scaring me. I recently missed a few high-rpm first to second shifts. I'm going to have to start paying more attention.

        Its the clutch nut. In looking at the manual and knowing a little about how things work, I would have said that nut couldn't loosen up. I'll take it off, clean it and re-flatten the washer. I have the torque spec.
        Thanks again for all your help

        PS. I'll get the $30 nut from A.P.E.

          The material in the threads is soft and when it squishes the hub is now loose without turning.

          How are those BST36's


          You should also order a mechanical chain adjuster from APE as well.

            I saw the chain adjuster, seems foolproof. The BST36's, if you mean carbs, changed the bike completely. Instant throttle response and it seems more peppy all through the range. All I've done is increase the mid-range jets 2 sizes to get rid of some surging and sync them. EBay, '86 GSXR 1100

                Hmm, don't know much about the Cometic gaskets, though when I used a non OEM clutch cover gasket it would leak. I replaced it with a OEM gasket and no more leak.

                    I went ahead and ordered the tensioner and gasket along with the clutch nut. I did happen to notice a spark jumping from one of the ignition wires when I went to fire it up this evening. I'll get new wires tomorrow along with some oil to replace what I spilled when I torqued the clutch nut. Actually I'll just change it, I have a new filter. The bike has been ignored for 11 years so it's going to need a little TLC to get back on the road.
                    Again.....Thanks for all the help and feedback

                      If you have stock coils good luck changing the wires.
                      I have some good coils on eBay

                        It would seem the resistance in the plugs exceeds the resistance in the coil wire insulation. I think I'll start with fresh plugs and go from there. APE sells Dyna setups for $140. I have a spare set of stockers but thanks for the offer.

                          latest update
                          I got it all put back together and went for a ride to the gas station. I wound up riding about 30 miles at various RPM's. There's still a small rattle at low RPM. It happens if I take off slowly (lugging) from a stop and I can hear it on engine overrun, I.E. when downshifting and the RPM gets below 3k. The engine idles well and runs strong although I didn't push it all. I have a mechanical cam chain tensioner coming from APE. This rattle goes away completely above 2500 RPM.
