  1. that is what ya need @NickGP.  Just make sure  you have un done the pinch bolts on the right leg , Keep the left leg pinch bolts tight and you will be good. After you have removed the spindle, undo the left pinch bolts and remove the thread spacer from the left leg.  If you are removing the wheel from the forks, Don't forget to remove your brake callipers. Re-assemble in reverse.

    When tightening the pinch bolts up again, Do just pinch them up.

    The RM was later in the 70’s. Very different engine castings. RM had reed valves where the TM/TS was piston port design. The RM came from the race only TM, and the TM and TS are almost identical except for the cylinder.

    the TM cylinder will give at least an extra 5-7HP, over the TS

    The early RM's were piston ported, It was the early 80's when they went water cooled they then added the reed valves.

  3. As everyone has said, You should run them in Series as you need to load them coils up. Ideally, you will want the resistance to be between 3-5 ohms, If you can't get 3-5 ohms with a pair in series, you'll need to add a high wattage resistor in line. (40-50 watt), you can heat sink it to the frame.

    Not enough resistance will give a poor spark, plus other problems.

  4. If ya like alcohol Free Petrol, Buy a 5 gallon container. Fill with 4.5 gallons of petrol and add 2 litres (4 pints) of water. shake really well.  Leave for a half a day. the water will absorb the alcohol ( there will be a small separate layer,  the 2 titres of water plus the alcohol)  and leave ya with just clean petrol. If you buy the container with a tap it makes it easier to drain off. (y)

  5. Closer look at your frame, it seems you have the 94/95 model. banana arm wont fit easily as your frame has a 25mm shaft, banana arms are 20mm.  If you want newer forks from a gsxr, go for the 1000's , 750's will be too short. Shorter dog bones (2mm) will put more weight bias on the front for a better feeling, tho everyone likes the bike set up different.

    I have found the 5 speed box of the 900 to be fine with the extra torque One tooth less on front on mine. 750's needed that extra gear. they feel like a 2 stoke compared to the 900.

    As for the frame. the wn/wp are not that stiff. I could feel it twist at higher speeds changing direction. That extra brace on the later 94/95 bikes probably makes a noticeable difference. (reminds me of the seventies bikes! Oh them memories.)

  6. Nah, No mis-communication. What you pay state side in dollars we pay in £ over here in the UK.  2k for up an upgrade for complete kit is the price of a complete bike here with spare change.

    Not knocking the Quality, Just hard to justify, when A complete front end off a newer K model will be enough for most needs. Forks, brakes, wheel ,etc.

    Still love to have them PFM kit.
