New to me GS1000G

[SVSooke]

I used this guy http://www.tpe-usa.com/

[JTGS850GL]

I ended up buying the one I posted a picture of. It's not used but NOS. He came down to a Buy It Now price of $30 plus shipping of $11.91 so for $41.91 I couldn't turn it down. Gasket ordered as well. Hell... It gives me the opportunity to remove the stator cover and polish it.

Now I'm on the search for a SH775 R/R. I've used these people for the correct connectors:

Since the connectors are the same for the SH775 I'll pick up the connector set for $17 unless anyone else has a line on them for less.

$42 sounds like a stonking good deal.

We'll see when it arrives.

Nice work and good bargain hunting skills.
Keep it up and the updates coming.

Just picked up a used SH775BA from a 2011 RZR with 1300 miles off of ebay for $40 delivered. Seller says the charging system was in "perfect working order":


Looks like I'll have a new charging system (Stator, R/R and connectors) for under $100.

Ordered this connector set as well:

Well that's the charging system taken care of! Nothing like have reliability, good job on the deals that's for sure.

Working on getting the front end sorted out. Calipers are assembled and ready to mount. Found one of the front wheel bearings a little scratchy so I'm replacing both. Very surprised at how much the price can vary for the same bearings. Ordered a pair of 6302-2RS bearings off ebay for $7.97 delivered.


I looked at the tutorial on how to remove the old bearings and found it to be WAY too complex. All that I needed was a drift and a hammer and out they came with no problems at all. Just push the center spacer out of the way and tap on both sides a little at a time and out she came. The other bearing is a piece of cake once the spacer is removed. I then just used a 1/2" extension and tapped it right out. I'll simply use an appropriate sized socket to tap the new bearing in like I have for so many times in the past.

Waiting on the new Saddlemen seat cover to arrive tomorrow along with so many other pieces. I'm really multi tasking on this. I would like to get the new stator installed before I install the rebuilt carbs since it's so much easier to get to everything while they're out.

One thing you might want to have a good look at, and maybe rebuild, is the speedo gear box. I've had enough of those seize up do some major damage, one ruined a rim. It's not really a rebuild, they come completely apart and it's basically a total clean and repack with grease. Good for another 30 yrs.

Good suggestion. Might as well while I'm at it since it will be just sitting there. Any suggestions on disassembly before I get into it?

Rob, I didnt know they could be disassembled. The speedo drive on my 1150 (second one, installed used) is making squeaky death sounds. When I looked at the one I removed, I thought it was a sealed unit. Ill have to revisit.

[azr]

Yup, they can come totally apart. I've never played with one from an 1150 so I'm not sure about that bike but if they're anything like all the others they should come completely apart. Yes they can do some damage when they seize up




they can be a bit of a bugger to come apart sometime but just spray the heck out them with your favorite mixture



this little plastic piece can be stuck sometime due to grease and dirt, just soak it well and I've found the proper size needle nose fits into two of the slots very well and out she comes.



Somewhere I've got a bunch more pictures of the process, I keep meaning to make up a little tutorial of how to clean one up. Make sure you seal the rubber boot around the piston/gear properly when you put it back together.

[dorkburger]

I don't recall seeing a snap ring on mine....ill have to check.

[JTGS850GL]

Great info.! I may do a pictorial on the process as I go and post that.

[dorkburger]

I checked mine, and it can indeed come apart. Jtgs, sorry for sidetracking your thread a bit.
Ive been following this from your consideration of the bike to now, and impressed with your progress.
