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.

Intake

Exhaust

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.

GTS-1000 Mailing List Recommendations

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.

This thread mentions a tapered gauge by Bike Pro.
- "a company called Bike Pro makes a set that just fit into that middle valve on the 5-valve Genesis engines - everything else is too wide"

Shim Substitutions

This ST1100 page lists bikes with shims interchangeable with the ST1100. Presumably the relationship works both ways...

ABS

Kevin Hawkin's ABS rebuild guide gives detailed instructions and photos to rebuild a seized ABS pump (archived here).

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.
