    Hi,managed to get some time on the 750. When I rode,the restrictions definitely kicked in on higher gears. Jaydee , I found the pink wire ,this where the resistor goes ? And does it matter what resistance values? 

    Hi, I used a 1.5kohm resistor soldered in line on the pink wire to cdi.

    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.

    gsxr750j slingshot mirrors

    @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.

    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.

    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.

    Mikuni BST 40 fuel level

    My dubt is that with 30+ y.o. plastic floats, could have right away a micro reduicing to their volume. So the mechanical setting can give an incorrect result.

    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.

    GSXR 11 what are these on frame ????

    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.

    He kindly sent me a pic

    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.O.o

    And I still didn't get the bike!

    Yes, that's the fella, the fact it'd been listed for 5 months had me thinking something was not quite right, never got to the fact it wasn't actually in Ireland. I considered going across to stay with cousins in Dublin and driving across to view it, that wouldn't have worked!

    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. ;)

    I'm looking at buying a Polish registered EFE from a guy in Ireland

    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.

    Hi.  
    does a mk2 bandit swing arm fit in a slingshot frame ? 

    Yes. Mk1 and 2 bandit arms are the same. They are narrower at the pivot than slingshot arms so need some spacers made up.

    The way you are getting your measurement is wrong. You have the carbs upside down which put the weight of floats on the float needle. You need to have the carbs sideways so the floats hinge is highest. The floats swing till they stop against the float needle with no float weight on them.

    My guess iss it's a problem with your slow jets or slow air jets being blocked. You are bypassing the slow circuit when you run on the choke circuit.
