That pipe looks like it is worth the better part of the bike's value.

After removing those parts that were just for effect, I got back to the discovery mode.
Kwiro has some competition with this worn out C/S sprocket.

About that Stainless Steel Supertrapp system, it appears that some kind of vermin liked it a little too.
I have never seen one of these on one of these old scooter exhaust systems before. Was '83 the first year for this crap?
With the overall general condition of this bike, I was surprised to ONLY find oil in the crankcase.
That is about it for today's progress.Comment

Followin along on another transformation, good luck with the projectComment

I did not get to even look at it yesterday but, I did get to take one of the other GSes out for an evening ride.
It is always best to have a good running bike around to keep you motivated when you dive into a POS.
Today, I got a couple of hours to look at it again and discovered another PO problem.
Armed with a good assortment of left-handed drill bits, penetrating oil and patience, I managed to extract the frame bolt and re-tap it.
And somehow bbjumper must be clairvoyant. And so it starts...
A short while later...
That's it for today and probably until Saturday.Comment

I had a couple of hours to tinker with it today so more destruction...
And had enough time to take the cam cover off to take a peek inside.

Looking good so far. You've got to love some of the things that a PO will do or do WRONG! Amazing how, just giving it a bath, increased the value of that boy by about $500.

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

I've got to thank you for those pictures with the cam cover off. I've finally got a slight understanding of how "each lobe pushes on a pivoted fork that operates two valves."

The gauge housing is cracked to heck. The gauges are fine though.
Pulled the engine and took the frame and swinger down to a self service car wash.
Finished the first coat of paint on the frame a few minutes ago. Time to get to work...Comment

Does anyone recognize this stator? Is it one of those Electro-sport units?
Comment
-
Looks like Electroport; also looks like it not have a chance to burn up either. Check the wires leading out to make sure the insulation is intact.Comment
-
Posplayr, do they burn up often? How about if I use one of those Polaris regulators?Comment
-
If you switch to the sh775 or compufire it will save the stator.Originally posted by GSX1000E View PostComment

A little more investigation today and a few questions for the GSR 4-valve hot-rodding experts.
I am pretty sure that I will be using this complete clutch assembly as someone obviously has done some work with it...
Shifter paws look thicker than any other GS engine that I have been into, about 1/8" thick. Is that normal with these '83 engines?
I will be using these hi-pressure gears for the oil pump.
Now for the questions for the experts. Of these three sets of cams, which is which? (Witches are for later this month for those that are spelling impaired BTW)
The first pair (HP 167) is what was found in this engine, the other two pairs (212 and Web 223) are some that I have gathered over the years.
Hopefully, someone can tell me who made which and what the specs are.
That would save me a bunch of time and make my decision as to which I will be using MUCH easier. Thanks in advance.
