True but eye watering expensive. Plus you have to order each jet separately. Which means I'll forget something.
I just need a jet kit of reasonable quality. Thinking of fitting a dynojet kit
-
Thanks Dezza
Any thoughts on where I can get jets
-
Can anyone recommend a cárb overhaul kit for a 750 SRAD? Buying them piecemeal from Suzuki is expensive.
Also is this a job for the technically challenged?
-
Sorry can't help you there. My project is delayed probably indefinitely
-
Try water in the petrol, that's what did it to mine. Water can gather in the tank at the low point in front of the seat. This is where it will pinhole too.

I'm about to strip down my vm 29s and have a few questions. I've used search but couldn't find the answers.
Who does a good quality refurb kit?
I think the gasket between the faceplate and the body is nla. Has anyone found a way to replace it?
As far as I can see all I have to do for a big bore is to take the faceplate out to 33mm. Is that all or do I have to do something else as well? Can anyone recommend someone to bore the faceplate out?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does anybody know the sizes for the early F model slabby?
-
Thanks guys I'll give it a go.

I have the usual concrete carb rubber problem on my slabby. I need to get the carbs off but no amount of heat will shift them and being afraid of breaking some thing, my hacksaw is looking inviting.
Not going to use them again so can I cut the rubbers off or am I missing something
-
What I was told was that twin lights evolved so that one pointed ahead {up} under hard braking and the other in the normal position.

ET mine is on a black and silver plate rivited to the left of the headstock and stamped on the right. Same nó twice. Bike was UK model

Foam.
in Oil Cooled
Francos advertise them on that site. If you find a source for the cheese grater let me know
-
there are repair kits for sump plugs available on that site. Saw them reviewed in one of the comics. Never used one myself but might be worth a shot
-
Well I want to make my slabby as original looking as possible, what's under the skin is a different matter. So springs and emulators seem like a good idea
-
Where did you get the springs and emulators? I'm thinking of doing the same myself
-
Saw that. There's also a guy who reckons a 3:1 mixture of ipa and wintergreen works well. Mind you I have to get them off first
-
I think I will invest in a hot air gun just to get them off. I've heard about wintergreen, the yanks swear by it, but I'll probably buy new ones as @Macduff
says. (Ive been following his build and it's given me a few. Ideas) -
I've finally got around to stripping my slabby but I've hit a problem.
The carb rubbers are rock hard and I can't get the carbs off. So do I cut them off or take a hammer to the airbox (which I'd rather keep)? The airbox rubbers are the ones which are giving me problems.
thanks

I saw a you tube video where the guy made a base from plywood and upholstered that. I'm facing the same problem shortly
-
Not semi circular collets by any chance? I think you need them if they're fitted
-
I've heard about wintergreen before, its sold on amazon as rubber renue (?) in tiny expensive bottles bottles. I'll work on the basis that there's nothing big to loosen in the engine
-
I'm finally stripping my slabby down (after 18 years), but before I cut the chain off are there any nuts I should undo first (like the front sprocket nut) say on the clutch or crankshaft?
Also the carb rubbers are harder than hell, should I just cut the inlet rubbers off to allow me to get the carbs off or are they hard to get or expensive?
thanks
Bernard
