Hi all,
I have just been striping the top-end of my GS1000, and after taking all the valves, springs etc, out, I thought I would check all the buckets move ok, anyhow the inlet on no-1 is abit sticky/tight, the bucket is fine on any of the others, and I tryed another bucket to see what that was like, more or less the same, so its not the bucket, its the hole the bucket goes in, it looks fine no marks or scraps etc, any idea"s what I should do to sort it, any info much appriciated..

are you sure it's not the oil making it stick, if not and the head is off i would give it a light rubbing with wet and dry paper 1000-1200 grade until its the same as the others.

Hi, i would get an internal mike and make sure bucket hole is not eliptical,sounds strange though have real close up look with a eye glass to make sure no crap in there!

Doesn't need to look too closely, it's a "Shitzuki"! One of the poorer copies of Kawasaki! :D
