what is the meaning of a dot head...?
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.

say what now!? - GSXR
Double R - gsxr750rr
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.

Just wondering is it only the gsxr1100 cams that are are an upgrade on the standard powerscreen cams?
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.

Will sort a picture this morning, just to be certain it is same adaptor.
Cannot load pic so sent to Clive.... he has put pic on billet adapter post.
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.

How many do you want?
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.

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.

You could always swap out the stock oil cooler for one a bit larger. The GSXRs always came with larger coolers than the bandits.

Not sure with the G engines, but double check that the cam sprockets match, you might need to swap the G sprockets on to the F cams. Usually people swap the dot heads onto bandit engines and those need the bandit sprockets.

I'd go with the 750F cams. If they end up being too peaky, swap the G cams back in and you should get back more bottom end. R cams would kill all of the mid range you're currently enjoying.

Water cooled and slingshot arms are pretty interchangeable, just the pivot diameter is larger on the Ws. If you had a 750 slingshot swing arm mocked up, a W will be the same. The braced 750W swing arms are a nice upgrade on the slingshots, and are as simple as just sliding the slingshot spacers inside the W spacers inside the bearings. I've never worked with the 1100Ws, but I've used a braced 750W swing arm in an 1100M frame.
This is an 1100 with a 750W swing arm in it, and it is on the short side.

Those cam caps look worn to me , I wonder if he had oil .
It's a 2 1/2 year old thread. They're not even active on the forum anymore.

Remembered a friend's gf has one of these. Forwarded it on to her for a parts bike. Just hate seeing old Suzukis wasting away in a barn.

It's a 450 twin, isn't it?
Yup, looked it up and it matches. I'll probably pass on it then, I have too many other projects and not enough space as it is...though I did just look and seats are easy to find on Eblag for it. I just don't know what I'd do with it other than use it for a little "bar hopper" around town. If anyone else is interested in it, I can give you the link for it here in Oregon.

I'm currently out in the country dealing with a parent with dementia and I noticed this Suzuki for sale pretty cheap near by. I'm an oil cooled guy that's only ever experimented as far as buying water cooled GSXRs to strip them for parts. So other than the ad saying it's a 70s bike with keys or a title, I have no idea what it is.
It's really cheap and they're open to negotiating on the price, sounds like they just want it gone. Any idea what model/size it is? Looks like the tank is dented, it's missing the seat, side covers, and the sprocket cover. Is the shifter mounted on the sprocket cover as well? Just wondering if it would be worth doing anything with it or should I ignore it and go back to focusing on my other projects that I've been neglecting? Thanks, and the odometer shows just shy of 20K miles.
GSX750F swingarm

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.
