[SRAD Cárb overhaul]

Good point. And I Have one staring at me

[SRAD Cárb overhaul]

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

[SRAD Cárb overhaul]

Thanks Dezza

Any thoughts on where I can get jets

[SRAD Cárb overhaul]

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.

[Vm29 questions]

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?

[Cárb rubber hell]

Thanks guys I'll give it a go.

[Cárb rubber hell]

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.

I have my f since 89 its frame no is gr75a engine r705. Bike is unmolested.

its partly dismantled at the moment so if there's any dimensions or pics you want let me know.

[Foam.]

Francos advertise them on that site. If you find a source for the cheese grater let me know

[Need help]

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

[modified gsxr slabby forks]

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

[modified gsxr slabby forks]

Where did you get the springs and emulators? I'm thinking of doing the same myself

[Slabby Carb rubbers]

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

[Slabby Carb rubbers]

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)

[Slabby Carb rubbers]

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

[Seat pan options]

I saw a you tube video where the guy made a base from plywood and upholstered that. I'm facing the same problem shortly

[Slabside exhaust port]

Not semi circular collets by any chance? I think you need them if they're fitted

[Before I get the angle grinder out]

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

[Before I get the angle grinder out]

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
