Bruce, absolutely not for a GS1000 motor. It all looks worn out anyway. Very queer looking basket and fiber plates....I did see something on ebay you may be interested in though .....BadBillyB

Hello
yes it is from a 78 zuke i have several. this is the only clutch plate i have seen with the weird clutch disk edge but definatly suzuki gs 1000 thanks ted
I wonder if it is some kind of old aftermarket clutch? It looks beefier than the stock one. I wonder also if I would be able to find new fibers for it.

There were never any aftermnarket (available to the public) clutch baskets or clutch hubs made for the 2V1000.....That is why my GS1000 dragbike motor is full of 1100 parts, including the clutch.......The 1100 4V motors came out right on the heels of the 2V motors and they suffered a lack of aftermarket support. Fitting an 1100 clutch into a GS1000 requires a bit of custom machine work and special parts but gives you access to NEW parts.....I have looked at that pic of the basket a few times and it reminds me of the prehistoric shark they found off the coast of Japan.....I have never seen anything like that before....To my 50 year old eyes, it almost looks like it has a "straight cut" gear on it.......Bruce, I would pass on this one and look for a "cherry" low mileage basket that you can put a HD backing plate on......BadBillyB

You could ask the guy how many teeth are on it, or ask to see the backside and look for welds. As it has been said it is not a stock 2v piece. I don't doubt the seller when he says it came out of a 2v motor, it just wasn't put there by when the motor was built by Suzuki.
Like BillyB said, looks like the motor was fitted with an 1100 straight cut gear set and a solid basket. Looks a bit worn (hard to gauge "depth" of those tab grooves from the picture).
I have a straight cut gear set and billet basket (all 1100 parts) in my 2v motor, so they are out there and can be fitted to work.

It looks like a GSX1100 basket to me, I think it was GS1100 (4V) to you guys in the States, I put one on my GS1000 (2V) when I built it for dragracing in the early '80's. That was because it caused less drag in the oil because it was a smooth outer diameter.
Also as BadBillyB says there weren't many easily available clutch parts around for the 2V GS1000, so you had to use what was available.
There again it could be a very rare MTC basket!!8-[ 8-[ 8-[

Its a long time ago!
I think I had to shorten it, but I'm not sure now. I remember that I turned the outer diameter to a smooth finish, and drilliing holes in the O/D to let the oil spin out.
It fitted straight on though, using the same bearings etc.
But if it is a straight cut gear then I would suspect it may be out of a performance motor, and that would mean a crank strip to fit the corresponding gear to the crank.
The standard GS(X) clutch uses the same helical gears as the 2V GS1000.

and here's the GLX stuff:
I think it might very well be the MTC. I went to their website, and it looks very similar to their stuff.Last edited by renobruce; 02-05-2007, 10:41 PM.
