  1. Hardly sheared an oil drain o-ring on assembly? Happened to me. Didn't let go for about 2 weeks, then no stopping the leak from a top oil drain tube.
  2. Also check the brass float needle seat is correctly installed. I find twisting them in rather than just pushing them in is better. The o-ring can roll back a little if seat is pushed in which in turn has the seat off plumb with the needle. One side off the float needle is under friction making float sticky. Pretty normal what's happening in photo. Fuel overfills in bowl till it reaches lowest opening which is the slow air jet on most CV carbs. I bench test carbs over a clean basin. If any leaks found, turn carbs over and pour out fuel out of breather and fuel lines. Strain and save the petrol to use again. Carbs empty, work on whatever carb/s has a problem. Repeat if necessary. I find it a quick way to work on leaks.
  3. Yes slingshot USD 1100 and banana armed w/c 1100 are 52mm top and 56mm bottom. But the w/c gsxr 1100 with braced arm 95-98 are 50mm top and 55mm bottom. WS is 95.
  4. Gsxr 1100 95-98 forks are 50mm top and 55mm bottom.
  5. Geography can influence your style of engine warm up. I tend to let the bike idle for around 5 minutes. First 2 minutes, revs as low as possible, then the rest bringing up the revs gradually till things feel loose. Back to geography, out my gate and 0.6 mile straight as a dye road up to a T junction with all guns blazing!
  6. Sounds pretty normal to me. I've had a lot of 750 and 11's that would start warming up on choke till the revs suddenly shoot up to around 3-3.5 thousand revs and hang there till choke was shut off.
  7. @wraithYou do know there's digital clocks fitted to some of the oil cooled K6 bandits? Suzuki must have started running out of the mk.2 clocks and started using the bandit 1250 digital clocks. Some have "bandit 1200" and some have just "bandit" written in chrome on the speedo. I have a digital k6 set along with my.2 loom, alternator and crank signal plate on a mk.1 engine withoutput shaft drilled for speedo sensor.
  8. Hi, I used a 1.5kohm resistor soldered in line on the pink wire to cdi.

    GSF750

    The bandit 750 is restricted through a resistance value from the neutral switch. Think gears 1, 2, 3 and 4 are unrestricted. Gears 5 and 6 resistance won't let cdi reach full rev range. A resistor spliced in on the pink wire ( I think, was years sgo when I did it) to the cdi fool the cdi by keeping the resistance down on 5 and 6 and allowing full rev range.
  10. @Captain ChaosI had a set of 750J/K/L mirrors that I sold for €50 to a mate a good few years ago. And back then he though I was taking the piss with the price. They were identical to the 1100 K/L mirrors only the necks were (from memory) roughly 40mm shorter. Every other component was like for like.
  11. I wonder what spacing powerscreen 1100 mirrors are. They are the nearest in style/position to the slingshot J/K/L mirrors that I've seen.
  12. The item in the photo is 30mm spacing.
  13. Wrong spacing for a J. 750 J/K/L and 1100 K/L have wider spaced mounting bolts. The ones in the link look similar to M/N style mirrors which have narrower mounting spacing.
  14. As you have pod filters, it a quick job to pull out the carbs. Only way to properly check that the mixture screws are lightly seated all the way in, is to have carbs off and feel the mixture screw tip protuding from its hole in the carb throat. I suspect the o-rings in your mixture screws are hard/distorted and not letting the mixture screws seat fully. Either that or you have tight spots on your mixture screws. The mixture screws can't all be the way in and have a bike idling. The mixture screw tips completely block the slow circuit fuel supply on fully seated.
  15. Is it not a reverse thread?
  16. Have a k3/4 front end here. 207mm like said.
  17. Have a mk1 with a mk2 loom here. Something similar happened me. Bike died and had to wait for the battery to settle. Restart only to die 30 seconds later. Turned out it was the earth wire (single plug connector to side of) alternator had broken off. Battery wasn't charging. Once wire sorted, problem gone.
  18. Never saw shrinkage on floats on any on the BST Mikuni range. I've worked on many, many sets. The float heights are 14.6mm. But there's a give or take 1mm is this measurement which would phase out influence of a slightly smaller (on a micro scale) float volume. With the floats being 30+ years old, the more common problem I see with the BST floats is warping. Where one side of the float is far higher than the other. This is more likely to cause inaccuracies in getting the right fuel level. Sometimes you can gently twist them back level. But some floats return back warped at rest which need replacing. I'm guessing your bike is an 11 M or N going by the 40's. I have ever only set up slingshot carbs by float height measurement. I find the method you are using is more for down draft carbs that actually have lines cast in to their bodies for a fuel level reference. No cast lines on BST's to go by so don't see the point.
  19. Yeah, have 2 11L frames here with them on it. Only thing I can think of that Suzuki might have designed them for a future headlight subframe design mounts that they never went with. Either that or the raised bosses are some sort of reinforcement experiment seeing as it's only on some 1990 L frames and was never used in other years after.
  20. Yes, 750 J, K and L are the same. The 1100 stuff is different.
  21. Get on to Dynojet UK and Vicky will swap your used needles for new ones. Lifetime guarantee on DJ needles. Save the new kit or sell it on.
  22. I'd bet my left bollock, he sent you more than a pic! When I enquired about the other EFE he had, he must have bombarded me with over 50 photos on WhatsApp. 90% of them were close ups of nothing worth a looking at. And I still didn't get the bike!
  23. Same fella fucked me around a few years ago when selling another EFE (on Polish plates, but in Ireland this time. He was in Cork back then. He told me he worked weird shifts and I couldn't see him before 3pm to collect. I had a mate with van organised and had taken the day off work. I rang him at 12pm to say I was about to hit the road (3 hour journey) only to have him tell me it was sold and picked up that morning. That asshole was lying about his weird work shifts. It turned out he was lining me up as a back up plan in case his first sale fell through. This was at my expense seeing as I had to throw a few quid towards my my with van and lost a day's pay. As for him selling lots of bikes? Not happening. He was selling the EFE I was after for €4000. The one you were looking at was priced at €2650. Irish bikers aren't short of money and that bike should have sold 10 time over in Ireland. All his bikes are located in Poland or along the German border. He prices them low but never mentions anything about the fact they aren't in the country and need shipping which is a hidden extra on the price.
  24. Is the guys name Richard who's based in Longford? He's had that bike for sale for over 2 years. Anyone enquring soon finds out its in Poland (not Ireland) waiting on a hefty deposit before the logistics are mentioned. Puts off people.
  25. Yes. Mk1 and 2 bandit arms are the same. They are narrower at the pivot than slingshot arms so need some spacers made up.
