According to my recent interaction with the folks at RepairManuals.com, Yamaha has outsourced their printing to Crestec, which is the company being dealt with at YamahaPubs.com.  The manuals I received from RepairManuals.com, printed in the USA (presumably, therefore, by Crestec), had very poor quality images.  On the other hand, the owner's manual I ordered directly from YamahaPubs (a.k.a. Crestec) had a Genuine Yamaha wrapper and was of very high quality, an original print from the early 90's.

===Tank Bags===

====Bagster/Baglux====

Bagster is a French company which [http://www.bagster.com/en/moto/catalogue.php?id_marque=10&id_cylin=13&id_modele=GTS%201000%20/%20GTS%201000%20A makes products for the GTS].

==Exhausts==

===R1===

Some R1 exhausts are a direct swap.  Others require adaptation.

Michael Ireton says:
<blockquote>I have installed the R1 cannister on my 94 GTS. IN order to do this you must
do four things:<br><br>
1)Purchase 2 exhaust pipe reducer bushings, a 2 1/2 od x 2 1/4 id and a 2
1/4 od x 2 id. These will reduce the R1
 canister pipe inlet to match the cat outlet on the GTS.<br><br>
2)Drill out the rivets from the original strap location and slide it down
and around to match the GTS mounting hole.<br><br>
3)I used a flat round bar and a hammer to indent the R1 inlet pipe where the
GTS rear brake lever interferes with the
 pipe.</blockquote>

==Fuel Filter==

The OEM fuel filter is expensive and will probably be out of stock at a dealer.  Alternatives are:
* Purolator F44661 (one inch longer, sadly no longer available)
* AC/Delco GF708
* Fram G6495
* Wix 33500
According to Bob Taylor, any fuel filter that fits a Mitsubishi Starion (87-89) (Australian) should work.

==Oil Filter==

Oil filters for the Mazda RX7 will fit the GTS.

==Spark Plugs==

===NGK===

From the [http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/apps/motorcycles/make4.asp?id=2715&type=reg NGK parts finder]:
* Standard p/n DPR8EA-9, stock no. 4929, gap 0.035"
* Iridium p/n DPR8EIX-9, stock no. 2202, gap 0.035"

==Valve Adjustments==

===Clearance===

====Intake====
.11 - .20mm

====Exhaust====
.21 - .30mm

===Feeler Gauges===

The Genesis 20-valve head requires feeler gauges which are narrower than standard feeler gauges. Some people cut down standard gauges, but there is concern that this may leave burrs.

===Shim Substitutions===

GTS-1000 shims are interchangeable with Honda ST1100 shims.  Therefore, any model's shims which are interchangeable with the ST1100 will also work with the GTS.  Here is a list of compatible models ([http://home.insightbb.com/~mmartin36/Valves.htm source]:

==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.
