All the valves need taking out and clearances checked.
Welcome to my 1983 GS1100 G Restoration Project. This bike has been in my family since new. It was bought by my Dad new in 1985 in Ontario, Canada. He toured the US with it with my Mum on the back (both have since passed away). I imported it into the UK around 1996 and rode it around London for a couple of years. Then it sat in the garden for 10 yrs (oh the horror!). Now: RESTORATION. Please use contact form page for comments. Click on photos to enlarge. Project started 18th August, 2012.

Gear Box Components Out
For vapour blasting all the internals need to come out.
Including this roller bearing that supports the gear selector drum.
And How Are Things Inside?
Quick look at the pistons: they have very few marks on their side but are quite sooty. I guess they were quite carbonned up, even though the mileage wasn't high. I sprayed WD40 into the barrels several times over the years to stop any corrosion and that's a good way to loosen up the deposits. They are very soft now.
To get the crank out it was necessary to take off pistons 1 and 4.
Cases Ahoy!
Now to get the cases apart and not to forget all the bolts top and bottom and the retaining plate clutch side. (Click on images to enlarge)
