    FUNNY THING - Buddy has a GS also --

    A buddy of mine at work has a GS himself.
    I have a 78 1000
    I have been driving it to work the past couple weeks and he tells me - Hey I have one like that..
    I start asking him about it and he tells me it is an 82 1100.

    He got it from his brother who raged the dog crap out of it.

    My buddy is trying to fix it up.
    He tells me the front forks are a little out of wack - Brother ran it into a tree .
    A few of the fins on the engine are knocked off also.

    -- 1 question he had that kind of made me thing was ---He asked if putting the NO SMOKE stuff in the engine would help with the smoking it does.
    I guess the engine was run hard and the rings are not so good.
    Thus he thought maybe a little no smoke in there would help.

    Will NO SMOKE HELP at all or is it a waste of time ????????????

    I told him I used to put it in my old 89 Chevy 1500 and it worked butI did not know about the motorcycles - since they only have 4 quarts or so in them.

    I figured I would ask you GURUs about it.

    THanks -

    I assume he is looking for performance or you would have not posted here.

    Whats the compression on each cylinder now?

      I would have to ask him about compression.

      As for posting here - I though this was the place. ?? 8-[

      Will adding the NO SMOKE hurt it ?

        I don't add anything to my motor oils, ever. If there is something wrong with the engine, I don't use VooDoo on them. Try...

          Remember
          that your cjutch runs in the same oil. Anything you put in the engine oil will affect your clutch also.
