I've read this whole thread, I just wanted to congratulate you Mike on not giving up!! Valve clearances should ALWAYS be checked initially before any other tuning occurs..
Valve clearance checked, all bolt torque checked, carb clean/sync.
I'm glad to hear you got it running and didn't give up! For a guy who didn't have any mechanical abilities I'm sure you learned a lot now..
Take careComment

It has been 10 years since this thread started and it's still helping people. Just read the entire thread and it was incredibly helpful! I've learned more reading this thread than I have in the past year. So glad it had a happy ending and thank you to everyone for all the useful information!Originally posted by UncleMike View Post

Been busy, but still chugging along with the 1150. Started doing test-drives of cars a while back too - just started producing video reviews of them too! Been fun. Good to hear from ya, Griff!Comment

My stable has grown a lot. Believe it or not, I just got rid of two steeds last week. I think they mate and birth at night when I'm not out there......GS450E GS650E GS700ES GS1000E GS1000G GS1100G GS1100E

Yup, thinking maybe get rid of a couple more GSes, then I can find me a nice original FJ1100/1200 without having to find a divorce lawyer.Originally posted by UncleMike View Post
Moto-journalism is moto-journalism, be it cycles, cars, or dirigibles. Printed, digital, or video media for that matter, makes no difference. You're pursuing your passion and making a living at it, which is rare for too many people nowadays.GS450E GS650E GS700ES GS1000E GS1000G GS1100G GS1100E

Hey! We'll have to compare notes/horror stories. Mine came with a giant pile of parts, so let me know if you need anything.Originally posted by rustybronco View PostComment

UncleMike, good to hear from you.
I recall that you were entertaining the thought of resto modding the 1150. Anything come of it?sigpic
