I have been running twin kandn for years with stage 3 now decided to go back to air box,thanks for your help.

The filter comes with 2 rings to fit it to the air box mounting,one larger diameter hole internally than the other but cent find information on what one to use with dynojet stage 1.Thanks

'Adapter rings' ? ? ? A picture would help. Surely you don't adapt a filter to match a pipe - you adapt the carb with DJ kit to work with pipe and filter. Generally for a pipe and K&N filter, a DJ stage 3 would be good as the filter airflow is not massively less than using twin pods.

Well it's a week away, and everything's sorted this end. Just to repeat/confirm I'll be here from 07:30 on Friday morning and anyone's welcome to turn up anytime between then and lunchtime on Sunday. Drinks and nibbles will be available, and we'll be doing an engine swap on @gsx's Katana on the Friday. Saturday daytime will be noseying, chit chat and such like. Friday night and Saturday night will be beers for/with those stopping over. Breakfast is available from from Greggs, Subway or Maccy D's just up the road, I recommend the Greggs as it's one of the better ones. I won't be going on a ride out as I need to be around for drop in visitors, but there are some nice roads I can point you to should you wish. Stratford, Henley etc are easy riding distance for example. I imagine most of you will come in on the A435 dual carriageway, there aren't any speed cameras and I've never seen a copper on there apart from the section just as you leave Birmingham. Not trying to teach Granny to suck eggs, but the only cautionary note I would offer is for the slip road you take off the A435. It's a very long tight bend that tightens up considerably as it comes back under the A435, and it's blind for its length. You can only see probably 10 - 15 metres in front as you come round it. Aside from the danger of overcooking it you can frequently come up behind an artic or Morris and Doris doing 30 mph. If you're cranked right over doing 50 things can get 'exciting'. I say this from experience.

Hi I've got a k and n filter to go in my 1989 1100 slingshot. Problem I have is its got 2 adapter rings of different sizes assumed to fit different set ups.Does anyone know which one for use with a micron pipe and dynajet kit,many thanks

This tasty GS1200SS is one of the bikes we have lined up for the show. Don't tell anyone else, but it's a seriously Suzuki heavy show... Team Classic Suzuki are coming too. We hope some OSS faithful can make it along. Just £10 to get in. Tons of inspiration on display, loads of builders to ask questions or pick the brains of.

no it seems and i did point it out to him and the other staff in the shop laughed heartily at his expense he wasn't even a youngster he was in his 30's made a not to go there again its in basingstoke

did he not know a TL is a V twin

or take the body work off and go mad max on it lol i have not had anyone tell me what it is yet including one guy from a bike shop asking is it a TL1000 (a very confused individual) i have also had 6sx600f a bandit 12 when i say RF900 they dont know it and i feel old

I'll tell you the best offered currently is the Hindle/Ripple Rock Racers 4>2>1 https://www.ripplerockracers.com/product/suzuki-gs1000-hindle-stainless-steel-exhaust-systems-to-fit-1978-80/

yeah im sure any GS1000/GSX1100 exhaust will fit but you might have to make a rear mounting bracket.

Suzuki Performance list a Marving for the shafty. SPS GS1000G System I'd be surprised if the Delkevic needed more than a bracket fabricating. Here's one on my GS7/11 thingy, with mk 1 homemade bracket.

Welcome back, I had a Delkevic exhaust on my gs1000g. It was ment for the chain drive but as I wasn't using there end can I just needed to make a bracket up for the end can. But l also didn't have rear pegs or standard foot rests.

Hi , welcome back , do you have anywhere near you that could bend you a link pipe ? If so buy a set of headers for a std GS, a can and get a link pipe bent to suit , and Bob's your aunties husband

Hi all, 1st post, but was here long ago... back again. Im looking for a new or decent 4 into 1 exhaust for 80 GS1000G, the G is the shaft version. Harris quit making them and Delkevic don't make them for my model... anyone? Phil

Next time tanks virtually empty take it off and give it a swill out, 1/2 an hour , bet there will be a good bit of muck in the bottom , I'd do the float bowls to if you've got the time .... Shit happens

yep float valve.

I’d put money on it. tap the bowl at a strong point try to shock the needle to close.

Well the run around finally let me down. Went onto reserve, kept sputtering, filled up, wouldn't rev cleanly under load. Pulled up, spewing fuel out the overflow, only when running. Pulled the fuel line, taps not leaking. Stuck float i presume?

The air corrector jet is an M5 threaded brass insert with a smaller hole in it than the stock air jet. To fit means the blank hole needs to be tapped using a blind tap. NOS air corrector kits often crop up on eb@y. They used to form the basis of a LeDAR induction kit, one of the greatest inventions known to humanity .

Yes, that looks correct.

Thanks, I've taken a photo just to be sure - pilot air jet on the left of the air intake, main air jet on the right. The main air jet has a brass insert which doesn't appear to be removable, the hole through it measures about 1.55mm diameter. I'm assuming this is standard?

Check the valve clearances and cam chain slack? These engines have pretty noisy top ends.

Hi, I have bought a slabside -87 with top end from a 91-92 with shims. The issue is that I have a metal sound that follow the rpm, it doesn’t sound when the engine is at low idle speed. The sound is like somithing hit something. I can’t see any damage when I remove the valve cover. is this replace with a newer top end possible at the 1052 engine? Do I need to replace anything more with this modification?

I did make another swinging arm bearing sleeve out of mild steel for mockup last night and fitted the swinging arm to see what was what. Today some needle roller inner rings made of carbon chromium steel arrived from Simply Bearings. I couldn't get the size I wanted so after some head scratching I ordered 2 different sizes 4 in total so one set slides inside the other which overcomes the difference between the swingarm arm and frame spindle size. Fitted it all together and made some temporary wheel spacers to get the back wheel to fit the 20mm spindle and centered it up. Not a lot of room for the sprocket carrier .
