I want to change the clutch~♪
It seems to happen a lot lately for some reason.
This is probably because Suzuki’s parts supply has become extremely tight.
= Users are also getting anxious! That’s the flow…
What do you think?
GS/GSX models are a bit of a hassle.
Well, at least the housing comes out of the case…
Everyone has made huge progress from the GS, you know?
214-S0230-06 TYPE-J
GSX1100S/GSX1000S, etc.

We’ll disassemble it bit by bit.
Crimped nuts & lock washers are essential, right?
The power transmission system is quite busy with “ON&OFF”.




A structure with various meanings
GS/GSX requires a bit of caution


The GSX has quite well-reinforced plates (*’ω’*)
My GS1000S, on the other hand
has missing bosses on the plate that fixes the upper and lower cases ( ;∀;)
I’m fixing it with just the remaining ones, but
the crankcase probably wants to open…
After running a certain distance, the plate cracks.
A bike with a chronic condition. I need to get along with it well…

Primary reduction is heavy (robust) for its era
Recently? Well, at my level it’s more like oil-cooled, but…
The weight reduction and construction are really well done.
Modern bikes are light and don’t develop play easily – they’re really well made.


Stepped wear is minor. Let’s clear it with light correction.


A subtle damper that the GS also has
We’ll replace this too while parts are still available.
Is it really effective?
Not really – it’s actually a very subtle part.


↑Suzuki OEM


↑FCC
With various developments in friction plate abrasives and shapes, we’ve reached the pinnacle.
There’s no particular reason to prefer OEM parts.

The one being used had some slight burning.
It showed just the right amount of wear, so the timing was perfect.

Hmm. 600g weight reduction?
600g is quite substantial anyway.
Let me check it out with a “let me research” kind of feeling, just to be sure.


It doesn’t look like 600g after all ( ;∀;)
But it’s nice to have this much weight reduction in the rotating parts.
Since it’s long, I’ll split it into two parts.
