clutch question

[tkent02]

I'm surprised nobody has said this. What about the basket being out of balance? I would worry about that more than the strength of the weld. I think the weld will be fine. When I got it all together I would watch out for severe vibration.

What's the clutch turn, 1,500 or 2,000 RPM Max? Maybe less, I don't have the primary gear ratio. How far out of balance can a six inch disc be at that slow speed?

Not sure about the 1000, but the 850 primary ratio is 1.775.

In other words, with the engine at 9,000 rpm, the clutch is doing "only" 5070 rpm.


Edit: I just found a manual for a 1000. Ratio is the same.

an 850 basket will fit in an 1100 16v. also...
same ratio.

basket case

how much do you think the two welds weigh ?

1100 basket is not a bolt in.
it can be narrowed .500 and then you have to mix and match both types of clutch parts.
totally do-able.
the 1100 basket would still need a HD kit installed for drag racing.

even if you use a 1000G crank?

the 1000G (and 1100G) uses the same clutch basket as the 16v 1100E

the 1000G (and 1100G) uses the same clutch basket as the 16v 1100E

the 1000 cases are not wide enough on the clutch side for the (wider) 1100 basket to be installed.
thats why the basket its self has to be narrowed so it will fit in the cases(around .500 give or take).
it has nothing to do with the crankshaft.
i have done 2 or 3 of these conversions and you have to mix and max 1000 and 1100 clutch parts..
i kinda remember have to use the 1100 inner hub and having it narrowed the same as the basket, around .500 give or take.
wait, maybe i used the 1000 inner hub and steels with this conversion..
anyways...
this conversion is for chain drive 8v GS1000 suzuki's pre-1980.

you get the idea.

What about a 1000G clutch in 1000ST ('80)? Plates are different but can the entire assembly be transplanted? Also, what about the crank?
