I have a spare air box if you need it. Also have all the suzuki manuals if you need any info let me know.
-
Yep, spares prices are often: 'Is the decimal point in the right fucking place?' But this has always been so for as long as I can remember. It's always worth checking NOS parts prices and availability though as I have more than once been pleasantly surprised. And then there're the Eblag chancers asking for more for NOS bits that are available for cheaper from an official parts supplier. The twats

I do like this alot, top job
-
Does it start on the button or take a few cranks? It's usually slow cranking or crank inertia kick back - they are quite fragile HT bolts as std. I eventually gave up after breaking allsorts of metal types - I serviced the s. clutch, springs, rollers and pins and MIG welded 3No 1/2" stitch welds from clutch to rotor - never broke again (using high comp and 24v starting!)

just dont ask for the price on an et seat
-
The 750 slabby is included in Suzuki's classic parts range so much is available as NOS. Good luck with the resto and yes, open a build thread in the projects section
-
They are definitely lower profile, I’ll see if I can find a pic
-
I can see a Terrible Tuning services logo, so with that in mind £4.
-
We’re would you all value something like that? Rarity value plus quality of build plus history status just interested? 15-20k? Or less?

I have rebuilt the starter on a 1984 1100efe twice now,first time used bolts from local tool and bolt shop, they lasted very short time. Then rebuilt again ( both times had to take the starter clutch to engineers to remove sheared of bolts) only this time I used genuine Suzuki bolts as well as new springs & pins. All put back together with correct torque settings and thread lock. This time it lasted about two months, bike is daily ride. Anyone know why this is happening. I had owned an 86 model before for 13 years aa a daily ride and never once had this issue.

I fully respect and understand your intetion to keep that bike in original condition !

I've used Halfords Engine Satin Black on the last 6 engines I gave a spring clean/service/rebuild. What I like about it is the black dulls down a touch and has a hint of grey. Looks far more subtle i.m.h.o. Just brush it on and it flats out as it drys. Never found the need to spray on as happy with the finish, key is not to repaint any area till dry from the last coat. As long as you have all loose dirt, flakey paint removed and the engine degreased and bone dry, the finish will last in all weathers.

I was able to adapt the Penske shock from my Street Triple 675 to the Bandit with a change of lower eyelet to clevis. Result! Should work well with the upgraded front end!

Just bought a 1990 gsxr750L as a project , to go with the EFE / GSXR hybrid I already have ( dirt cheap as someone has previously butchered it to near death ). At some point I want to repaint the engine ( probably satin black ) and was hoping someone might be able to recommend something decent. Any help appreciated Gaz

I suspect you are right about the original exhaust system but I do want a stock configured GSXR750F so will stick with it. Once I've got my 50 posts in will offer up the Vance and Hinds system that was on the bike. Motor is now loose in the frame and I will pull it Sunday or Monday. As you say Buzuki, will do the top end only.

What I don`t like about original exaust system is that the inner diameter of the exaust four pipes are much smaller than inner diameter of four cyl-head exaust holes , IMO that suppress engine breathing and limit engine to produce full peak power , for low/midrange RPM that mismatch is not so important but for high RPM it is , I think that is the one major place where Suzuki chocked those early GSXR engines to not develop over 100HP , since in early/mid 80` was some sort of` Gentleman agreement ` in beetwen big motorcycle manufacturers to not sold motorbikes with more than 100HP to customers , today that agreement do not exist anymore , to make long story short , when I replaced original exaust system on my 88 gsxr750j with full open race system I have noticed two things , one is that my bike become much faster , and second is that engine developed less heat , less heat indirectly means longer engine life .

Cheers for the input. Pretty similar to running the B12 tap on just prime then really. I have read they are faster flowing than the B12's though, and lower profile. Maybe not worth messing with as an upgrade. But i dont have ant tap atm so need to buy one either way. Will give it a go!

Very nice gsxr1100 wt

Doesn't sound far out depending on the exact condition, there was a mint one at the Stafford show and they were asking £3495 for it but everyone adds a grand to anything at Stafford! There are a few on EBlag for similar money but at least one of them was a cat C. -
GSXR1100W and Bandit 1250 interchangeability
NorthernBloke replied to Gammaboy's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
Has anyone actually built and run a N/A hybrid motor, because I'm wondering if the possible gains if any are worth the effort. Or was there another reason to build the Hybrid motor ? Just wondering as I have an 1100wp and weighing up options if I had motor problems in the future it would be good to know what possible alternatives there are. -
Vizman, good idea about documenting via project thread. I'll start one...……...thanks!
