Thanks everyone, I appreciate your advice, unfortunately I need to go for whatever is the cheapest route at the moment. Dezza that sounds like a cool system you've got on there, I was thinking about making my own, I've got a tig welder and can weld pipe but I'm not sure about the bending of the tubes, you could do pie cuts or pre bend sections but then I could see that getting expensive too lol

Do you know if that will fit a Gsxr 750 1985 mate? What bandit model did you go for?

I'm looking for a new exhaust system for my bike, one with a larger bore at the manifold, does anyone now of a good manifold from another bike that would fit with the fairings still on that won't break the bank? Can't find many new aftermarket ones that are under a £1000 lol

Definitely Tony but on to the the next headache

I've just fitted the starter clutch, I've not much experience fitting these so I don't really know what's ok and what's not but after fitting it I've noticed the large cog has a bit of back and forth play in it and wasn't sure if that's normal or if I haven't fitting it correctly? There's not really much too it but I thought I'd check with you guys in case something isn't correct, It spins as it should I'm just not sure if the movement in the rear gear should be there

I ended up swapping it back, It was playing on my mind too much so I got another gasket and swapped it over, luckily no m6 threads stripped along the way lol

I better swap it back out then guys to be on the safe side lol, thanks for the advice

After cleaning out the oil strainer and fitting a new oil pan gasket on my gsxr750 1985, I was looking through the workshop manual and realised I'd fitted it back on the opposite way lol, I know it was a dumb mistake and should of double checked it in the manual. Does anyone know if it matters which was these are fitted or if it needs correcting and put on the right way around?

Thanks Tony I appreciate it

Whats an acceptable secondary ohm reading for the coils on a 1990 gsxr 750? Mine are a bit lower than the workshop manual states and I'm not sure if I need some new ones or if they are still acceptable? After my running issues I'm trying to find it what it might be so wasn't sure whether to replace these or not, They are 23.5 and 24.5, on the slabside workshop manual these would be in spec I think but in the 1990 specs these are out and the lowest is 30. Thanks

Thanks for the advice everyone i appreciate it, I'll take a look into the points you guys have made and see if I can sort it, I thought the built was finished but by the looks of it a few more headaches are needed lol.

I recently finished my bike and in the way to the mot centre I could tell something wasn't right, It was really rough on the idle and first 1/4 of the throttle and then it was spluttering going up hill, it was great though once I got past the first 1/4 of throttle So i balance the carbs and adjusted the mixture screw a bit, it sounded a lot better, so I took it for a test ride and then the same thing, it was rough again around idle and I broke down going up hill, it just stopped and was popping back in and out of spark, Luckily it was by my house so I pushed it back and I'm not wondering what to check now. So I thought I'd ask you guys to see if you might now when I can start? I ultrasonic cleaned the carbs with a full strip and rebuild with new seals, I have put an ignition advacer on with k and n filters and a vance and hines megaphone exhaust when I was building it, I did have oil in the tank to protect it against rust during the build but not sure if that would cause any issues, I did have a weak earth to the engine as i ran my own earth cable to neaten things up but I did sort that out. My dad thinks it's electrical but I'm thinking carbs, I'm going to take the carbs off and check them over but wasn't sure if anyone else might if had this and what they did to fix it. Thanks

Thanks for the help mate, I would expect each side to have a brass plug but from I've researched on the early 750 engines I don't think they put a brass plug in on the ignition pick up side, seems strange but I think the ignition engine cover just blocked it off.

Thanks George, that's what mine is like, I'd just never seen it left open like that before or maybe I didn't notice it but it must be, Thanks everyone for confirming it and I'll continue building it back up once I get a few parts in.

I have a feeling that it wasn't plugged as I can't see any signs of anything ever being pressed into that hole but just seems weird that it is left open. It feeds a long side the oil channel that the oil pressure switch screws into and feeds under the crank shells.
