Hi all, not sure if I’m loosing the plot but are these parts used in 750 carbs VM29SS?
also does anyone know the turn outs for the pilot screw? My Haynes says it’s preset although I have a adjuster screw

'88/'89 has a shorter stroke, is more peaky than the earlier and later oilcooled 750's. The heads are worth a lot of money because of the larger valves. People put them on 1100 lumps to raise compression.
Nice knowledge. Cheers

Seen this on the world famous online market place and it ended the other day, I didn’t end up winning it anyhow I noticed that it has a cable operating clutch- never seen this before on a slab side so curious to be honest as I did actually try and win the bike
The bike in question is listed as a 1987 750
Any thoughts?

Regarding the original post, this is exactly the scenario for which Q plates were intended and why a Q plate is reserved for vehicles whose original date of registration cannot be verified as it's made of parts from different aged machines. It is a shame this concept was perverted by a load of twats ringing stuff in the 90s and putting them on Q plates as now we seem to have some sort of hysteria over Qs, a sort of mass Q-aversion. It's even spread to some insurance companies, who won''t insure Q reg machines. Having a Q plate machine does have some advantages when it comes to MOT regs but this can itself be a challenge when explaining this to MOT testers ignorant of the regulations. I comment from the position of having owned the same Q plate Harris for 34 years.
If you use the registration for your donor bike then you'll have to transfer the frame number to the Spondon, and effectively end up with a ringer. Doing this isn't exactly rare and is obvious when you see some frame kit bikes out and about (mainly at shows) but personally I would much rather have a Q because this is what Q is for.
This might sound a stupid question but can you transfer a private registration onto a Q registered machine or not do you know?

the only time (as far as i know) you can swap over the frame number is if you are fitting a brand new OEM frame. done it twice in the past under warranty.
fair one, thanks for that

The DVLA have tightened up the regulations severely in the past 5-10 years to stop the 'grandfather' rights of swapping / moving a chassis number from old to new. This is still permissible (I believe) if the new frame is essentially a reproduction / replica of the original ie. copy a GSX crap steel frame in chrome moly - same loops, angles etc. so std. mechanicals fit using std. fixings. In the classic car world, reproduction shells for Mini's, MGB's and Escorts are being produced 'aftermarket' no different as when 'service shells' were available from the original manufacturer - these can retain their original registration mark.
A Spondon / Harris / Moto Martin / Martek etc. frame doesn't qualify - they are not exact replica's and so have to go through the MSVA test - requirements are available online - and if passed, you WILL be issued a 'Q' plate!
Ahh ok thanks, so it could be a bit tricky then... don't like the sound of having a Q plate

Just a question hopefully someone can answer
If you had a Spondon frame that's not got a number plate assigned to it and the donor bike that the frame was built for how do you go about registering the frame to the donor bikes number plate? is this possible as the original frame is essentially what the number plate links to, I am sure I have seen spondon framed bikes with normal age related plate and not Q registered
thanks in advance

Mine is GR71G JDM also. 1986 and confirmed by Suzuki as a GSX750R-2. Has it factory bungs welded in the swingarm for the paddock stand bobbins? Thats another clue...
I’ll have a look but I’m sure it hasn’t got threads for bobbins on the swingarm! Will check

There should be a number stamped on the headstock that will provide a clue.....
Yes the chassis / frame number. Is there a chart to identify it from anywhere?

Have the clocks got fuel guage?
Think the Jap home market ones had file guage.
Yes it does have a fuel gauge. Seems to be pointing towards a jap import I think

Hello all recently picked up this 87 GSXR 750 and just wondering what country it was originally from as it’s an import, it’s been in the uk since 1991.
here are some photos of which I think might hopefully give a clue, there is a steering lock at the lower steering clamp. Japanese writing on one of the warning lights, few Japanese markings here and there. Not sure about the brass plate, someone may have done that themselves?
what do you guys think?

Exactly the sort of thing i have been thinking today, to be honest I am just going to refit them, they were like the before wit no issues so they can go again.. pressured oil separates the 2 parts so hopefully should be ok

Slabby motors have 7mm threaded holes for the cover bolts as standard, how come yours were 6mm???
I did what Mr bean described once many years ago, when I had a free head with no cam caps, and a box of bits, it took days and lots of patience, which i no longer have, to get it right but it worked..
No idea on why mine are M6, even the fixings are/look OEM, mystery
-
so this is what I was referring to in regards to the hole I accidentally made on one of the clamps (first picture) so I continued to remove them to find another with a hole in it ( second picture) this one I have not touched so weird how this has one- can anyone shed any light on this?

And not listed as spare part. What’s up with the originals then?
Some have a bit of light scoring on them, one is worse than the rest. one is totally scrap though, my fault, my originals have an M6 thread for the cam cover fixings and I drilled them to tap to an M7, when drilling it pulled the existing thread out making a hole underneath on the cam shaft side.. what an idiot

Hello all, say what now!? 1052 motor, I am wanting to replace the camshaft bridge clamps on my motor, does anyone know if these are the same across different oil cooled motors? and if they are still available new (cant imagine a set being cheap if so). Also ideally the 7mm threads for the cylinder head cover as I have just brought some APE head cover bolts and they are 7x1.00 thread size
best regards
