Hi,

Is there a reliable and accurate way to measure cylinder bore diameter without stripping the motor?
I presume you'd have to somehow stick some clever measuring device through a spark plug hole?

Thanks
Rick

Are the engine casings different to accommodate the different adjuster mechs?

Don't suppose anyone has a photo of the other version with the helical spiral?
(EDIT: just seen the diagram of the other mech on the previous link)

Are the two mechs fully interchangeable?

So you effectively refurbed and upgraded the standard mech. Mine currently has a lot of the wear / slack in the various components, so might attempt something similar :up The thread on the adjuster nut that goes through the casing is partially stripped too, but I can't seem to find a replacement par...

Apols if I've missed something from an earlier thread, but are those parts standard or something you've fabricated?
I've had a bit of an issue with my clutch adjuster mech recently.

Even if the wheels aren't that popular, I'd have thought the discs, cush-drive, sprocket, etc. must be worth something if sold separately?

Whereabouts in Staffs are you?

I admire your honesty.
I'm sure a lot of folk would have come back saying they "found x or y (not diesel) after stripping the carbs, and now I've sorted it" !

I've recently looked into these, so I'd be keen to hear how this goes.
What did you order and from where?

Chris - any update on the lithium battery ?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a custom chain guard that will fit a 1981 1000J ? I've got a standard one that's a bit of a mess but probably repairable, but just fancy a custom one. I've seen some for a Rex (Beowolf) but don't know whether the spacing for the bolts is likely to be the same ...

Sorry no, I don't have any detailed dimensions or drawings, and now it's all bolted on the bike. I suspect HEL might freeze over :lol: if I did have these and just gave 'em away ! The standard pressure sensor screws into the top, so that's the same dimensions if you've got one to hand. The securing ...

This is the one that HEL made.

I'm not certain, but I suspect the take-off might be specific to the air cooled GPz1100 and the ELR Z1000R/J motors. You may find one on here (or FleaBay) but they're not common any more. If you really get stuck, then I know that HEL Performance are capable of making one. I bought a prototype kit fr...

As far as I can tell, the tank is pretty solid, although I've not tested it.

Hi,
I’ve got one that should be ok.
I’m away for a week but can send pics when I get back if interested?
Currently it’s ELR green.

Loved my old 1000RX
They don't handle as badly as their reputation suggests, although I did need a new rear shock (old one seemed to seize) and once I'd bypassed the anti-dive the forks worked much better too.
Great bike though.
