It will in effect make the spaces between the Inlet valve and the butterfly one big vacuum chamber. I cant see it having any impact on AFR to be honest but time will tell! The MAP and FPR need to be referenced from the same place so I cant think of any other way of doing it really

Following further research, I'm going to make one of these from an offcut of fuel rail. As you were.....

As I'm fitting throttle bodies between my plenum and head I need to take my MAP/Fuel Reg readlings from between the throttle butterfly and the head. To get consistant readings has anyone ever used a vacuum manifold? Something I can attach the 4 runners to and then take my metrics from there. Just thinking it'll be more reliable than T pieces etc

If youre no into destroying it with a screwdriver or picking the lock; If you have a very long screwdriver you might be able to get to the latch through the petcock hole and push it back to allow you to open the flap.

Unfortunatley I've just had confirmation from Mortons that the Classic MotorCycle Mechanics show is Cancelled. If anyone actually paid for tickets they get rolled over to the April 24/25 2021 show or can be refunded. I'll keep in touch with Mortons and see when the next suitable show for us is on and either myself or @Paulmwill start a new post. Its a shitter but at least weve got a few extra months tinkering time.....

Just as well, I’ve stuck all your names down already

I’ve had a brief conflab with the Stafford Show people today, it’s going ahead as planned. As it stands, the Suzuki Marquee won’t be there but I’ve send the forms off anyway. Hopefully we’ll get something indoors! I need names please!

BKing on mine, again pretty simple bearing swap

From the info I've got there's at least 3 capacities. There's deffo a 21litre (750H maybe others) There's deffo a 19 litre in at least 2 designs (raised filler area and flat topped) Theres also either an 18.5 litre or 17 litre as all the info I'm gathering seems to contradict itself. I'm researching all this at the mo to try and get some definitive answers and even Suzuki themselves don't seem to know everything E22 markets and California E03 Have their own part numbers, I've yet to find out why; maybe colour schemes but I'm guessing its something to do with emissions? There are 2 types of tap for flatties and CV's with different bolt spacing. There are 28 part numbers I've found so far and there certainly weren't 28 permutations of slabby even factoring in all the colour schemes. Hopefully once I've gathered all the info and the reasons for the difference it'll be of interest. Or it'll bore you shitless. Expect to see it soon either way!

Thats cool.

From discussions I’ve had with a random Japanese man in Hamamatsu, Tim Davies and a few gnarly beardy people from the 80’s, there was a 17ltr a 19ltr and a 22ltr. im still hunting out info though so don’t t air that to the bank. There will be an article for the vault in time!

They’ll fit either frame, certain 750 models for other markets came with that tank that we know as the 1100 tank. if you delve into it it’s a minefield

Thats an 1100 tank by the looks of it. The smallest ones I know of are 17ltr USA market 750G but they *might* have also been on the JDM 750f. Theres 3 capacites that I've found and at least 4 designs

Well that’s crap. I knew the gsxr were lone bored, I didn’t think they bothered with the b12. anyone got a dial bore gauge to lend me?

As we know, when sussing out what bearing shells you need when building an oil boiler you cross ref the letters etched on the crank web with the letters on the back of the top case half. Now if someone really daft had two sets of B12 cases and wasn’t sure if the bottom half was native to the top half is there any markings on the bottom half to match it to the top? pics because, well who doesn’t like pics!

Sleeve the bearings and make new dogbones/buy turnbuckles. Job jobbed.

I'll likely have a slab or two done by then

@Sam-Jaffa@busa ash

Its a lead acid YTX-9BS

@dupersuncmusic to my ears, thank you! I picked up a dot motor yesterday on a whim so i'll get it pulled apart!

Are they swappable between clutch baskets? IE I’ve got a B12 basket I need to use but with no alternator gear on the back. I also have a complete dot head 750 engine that’s trashed but has a good alternator and has its drive gear. Can I swap em round?

I may put this back on the shelf and persue a full motor rather than chuck together a bitsa!

Can anyone ID what this is from? It’s 750 I think and the shaft is hollow so I’m thinking slabby? Its going in B12 cases but that’s another story...

I stay as I am for now then. I need to learn to ride it around corners quicker before I start looking for more ponies

Excellent! Is it worth taking them out to 33mm?
