Yup, I used to do the same thing. Turn the lights on, put on my gear, and then fire it up.

Bunch of threads already on this subject. As long as your charging system is in good shape and hasn't been bodged together over the years, it should be fine. Better to error on the side of higher cranking amps with lithium, and they really don't like the cold, so not best if you're gonna ride it all winter.

Sorry, all I saw was the G and pictured the giant shaft drive bike in my head. A slabby harness should be a lot closer to fitting. I think some of them had an extra lead for a second ignition pickup, but you can just ignore that. Probably won't have all the connectors for the power screen gauges or the power screen, but should work for the engine.

Most likely not a direct swap as the G was a cruiser with everything in different locations than the powerscreen. The engine will most likely run with it as long as neither of those bikes had unique connectors, but I can't see it fitting everything else on the bike.

Their's probably won't fit with a 7/12 build, but you might be able to build something similar that will clear the tank.

This is always an option. https://accbilletengineering.co.za/product/suzuki-gsxr-750-slingshot-coil-relocator/

The adjusters are threaded in to the frame, the pivot shaft is not threaded. Try soaking it with penetrating oil and letting it sit, then try hitting it with a hammer again to get it out.

He never said anything about having the 40mm CVs. Said he has 36mm CVs and RS40s. I'd probably go with the RS40s and just complain a lot about how much the bike sucks to ride in town.

First gen Fs all used 3.5" wheels. Second gen Fs all used 4.5" wheels. First gen Fs had different swing arms for 600s and 750s, probably only differed in length. Second gen Fs used the same swing arms on both models. I had a first gen 600F years ago, I want to say you could fit a 150, and maybe a 160 in the swing arm, but that was about it. It was pretty narrow. You might be able to fit a second gen swing arm into a first gen frame, but I'm not positive. It's been like 20 years since I've touched one of those bikes.

I think they were primarily for the Japanese market.

The 748cc short stroke 750s had dots cast into the sides of the heads. The 88-89 j/k GSXR750s had them as well as the first gen 750Fs. Same size valves as the 1100s, steeper intake for better flow, and a cheap and easy bump to compression and power when swapped on to a bandit 1200 engine. Had to double check the blandit 750s, it looks like they got the long stroke engines, but we never got them here as far as I know.

Same, that's what we call them here in the states.

Except we don't use the "gi x x er" word here. You'll also find that you can't write out the names of most other manufacturers, especially h*nda. There are also a lot of us on here from outside of Europe, so plenty of other slang that will get used from time to time as well.

Yup. Blandit - Powerscreen/F - GSXR. The 750J cams are supposed to be the best, but the GSXR1100 are still better than the the powerscreen cams for top end.

No rush. It would be for an 1100m that I don't even know when I'm going to get back around to working on.

Would you ship to the states?

I thought you lot got the 40mm CVs in the UK and it was only the US that got the 36mm CVs. If you want to run the 36s, you can still get the 1100 intakes here in the states. They were also used on the MK1 Bandit 1200s. Those 40mm flat slides are a bit on the large side, but could be a lot of fun if set up properly, depends on your riding style. All the carb intakes that fit the flat slides are getting hard to find now, so you would have that issue to deal with. Unless you have the air box, you'll probably need a jet kit for those 36 CVs, and the stock jetting that they came with in the US was pretty restricted for emissions.

I think VFR 750 is the one you want, maybe Ducati, Triumph is really wide and the hardest to fit.

Yeah, we don't say the "h" word around here.

You can try https://www.rmcmoto.com/ in San Jose. I know him from when I used to live down there and he likes the old oil cooled stuff.

If it's still for sale next month I might just grab it and see what condition it's in and go from there. It's only like $100. For the friend's gf, our nickname for her is "Scooter Tits". I'm sure your imagination can fill in the rest.

Too far south, the shops I know are all up in San Jose. It's most likely the resistor at this point. If you could borrow an old GSXR CDI to test it, that would tell you for sure. They don't care about any of that fancy security stuff.

How easy is it to swap the GS500 wheels? What's the advantage of the GS500 pistons?

750 or 1100? Some 1100 headers clear 750 plastics, some melt them. Same with 750 headers on 1100s, some clear the pan, some don't. Hindle makes full exhausts that are on the cheaper end. Post up in the wanted section and see if anyone is looking to sell a used one?

So it turns over fine, but no spark? The bandits had an anti-theft device with a resistor on one of the circuits in the ignition that the CDI looks for. That will prevent spark. Alternator doesn't even need to be hooked up, these bikes will run just fine with total loss until the battery dies. Only minimal voltage should be coming from the signal generator, it generates its own power from the engine turning. The missing connectors could be the kick stand kill switch that needs to be shorted out to bypass, but that would prevent the starter from working. Where are you on the central coast? I'm originally from that area and know of a shop that has old GSXRs with bandit engines for their personal bikes that I could direct you towards if you get really stuck.
