Accessories
Consumables
Tires
Fuel Filter
The OEM fuel filter is expensive and will probably be out of stock at a dealer. Alternatives are:
- Purolator F44661
- AC/Delco GF708
- Fram G6495
According to Bob Taylor, any fuel filter that fits a Mitsubishi Starion (87-89) (Australian) should work.
Maintenance
Valve Adjustments
Feeler Gauges
The Genesis 20-valve head requires feeler gauges which are narrower than most. Some people cut down standard gauges, but there is concern that this will leave burrs.
- Rick Davids recommends Draper tapered gauges.
- "Draper is a UK company. Google Draper + 19613 for UK sites that sell them."
- tooled-up.com (UK)
- Metric: 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.70, and 0.80mm
- Daren mentions Blue Point gauges.
- Bob Johnson mentions official Yamaha feeler gauges for the 5-valve Genesis heads.
- "I got them from Curt Jordan of Jordan Engineering."
- No part number was specified.
ABS
- Kevin Hawkin's ABS rebuild guide gives detailed instructions and photos to rebuild a seized ABS pump (archived here).
- Terminals to jump in order to cycle the ABS.
- Links to information about cycling the ABS.
- Advice on pedal travel during ABS cycle (GTS 1000 archive)
- Counter-claim (GTS 1000 Archive)
Front Suspension Lubrication
The dreaded front-end squeak. If you hear the squeak, the bearings in the front swingarm should be disassembled and lubed as soon as possible. If this isn't done in a timely manner, the bearings will eat themselves and are quite costly to replace.
- David Sheldrake's ramblings on greasing the front suspension.
Resources
- The GTS 1000 Mailing List Archive is an invaluable tool.
- Kevin Hawin's web page has the excellent ABS tutorial and information on upgrades.
