Gs 750 cam shaft trouble

[cowboyup3371]

Tom is right; all four posts that Basscliff linked to stated how the guy didn't check his oil levels and ran it dry.

What he should be posting is a location and a request for someone who knows how these engines work to help him figure out how much has been damaged.

First thing I'd do is adjust the valves. Next is to check the carb jetting. The jet numbers must match those in the OEM Suzuki Factory Service Manual unless you changed the air filter box or the exhaust system. If that is the case, the carbs MUST be rejetted or the bike will not run right.

Ed, apparently everything ran fine before being run out of oil.
That won't change the jetting much.

Tom,
We don't know for a fact that the bike was run out of oil. We just know the oil was not checked and then the bike started to run poorly at some point thereafter. Most likely, the oil level is a little low, then when the bike started to run poorly a mistaken assumption was made connecting the two. Just like assuming the camshafts are worn, which is extremely unlikely.

Well either way, getting answers out of this guy is like pulling teeth. He needs someone to look at it that knows these engines.
Have fun.

My Gs1000s had roughly done 95,000miles when I had it stripped and rebored to a 1085.
we found the cams were badly worn, not pitted or blue, but they were well below spec...
one thought we had they had been swapped from another Gs......

Blaming the cams sounds like Voodoo Mechanics to me.
You'll never fix the problem that way.

I know people that work that way, their wallet is always empty, and their floor is full of brand new parts.
And their car is Still being used as a lawn ornament!

i had a kz i ran way low on oil , well i ran the hell out of it to but, added oil and it ran fine, thing is if he ran tit to long the rings are prolly scorched, and cylinders glazed/burnt, he didnt say what the compression was ,how bad does it run that he would think about the cams?,valves adjusted?
or is this just for a new topic? to talk about lol

Well, he's close enough to ride to the desert (and barely make it).
