    Doing the valve clearances is so much easier and quicker on my 86 GSX-R1100 than my 87 Yamaha FZR1000, the Yamaha has 20 valves and uses shim under bucket, on the plus side, you only have to do them every 42,000 Km, but i do them at 30,000 to be on the safe side.

    I agree, shims are hard work by comparison.

    I have a 2020 gsxr. It’s a top speed bike. Recently I have been unable to reach 207. Struggles to hit 200-201. Just did a compression test, tho I could only reach 2 cylinders at this time. But it’s clear already. Does this 1100. Not have shims like mine?

    2:30 is it expected that oil comes out from that side of the engine? It happened the same to mine, but I’m not sure should be oil with ignition pick-ups. Thanks

    got a Haynes manual for my gsx and the order in which they have you set the timing mark and which valves to adjust is incorrect. so you can throw that in the trash and use the manual for clearances and torque specs only.

    A haynes manual also led me astray on my 87 FZR1000, i found quite a bit of the info was incorrect after i found a Factory Manual that was printed by Yamaha. The trouble with many haynes manuals is they cover too many models in one book, the FZR one covered the 600, 750, (including the OW01) and the 1000s from 87 to 95, its too many, no wonder mistakes are made.

    Hi your video is excellent - can you tell me which size tool from the motion pro set you used for this engine please - they sell the tools individually and the full set is quite expensive and it would be great to just get the one needed Thanks a million
