I'll be sure to make it regardless which month. But it would be nice to not get wet on the ride over

Yeah and you! Awesome thanks. I'm keen for more meets and shows

Thoroughly enjoyed that today, nice ride over despite getting drenched. Good to meet some OSS boys and put faces to names, and see plenty of lovely old Suzuki's. Cheers for sorting it and being a top host Larry!

I have that set up on my GSX750 I haven't measured oil temps so can't prove how effective it is, but the oil cooler is always hot at the end of a ride. My old man used this set up when he raced a GSX750 and I believe he had good luck with it.

I just had this issue with my 1980 GSX750. I'm surprised you were able to find bearings with races with a 14 ish mm ID? Are you using the standard steel swingarm? I had to settle for bearings with a 16mm ID, then I pressed a 14 ID / 16 OD sleeve into the races so the spindle fitted perfectly, now I have zero play. I am using a GSX1100 aluminium swingarm however so it may use different bearings to the steel swingarm.

I inherited my Dads GSX750 that had pods. This was my solution: As mentioned above limiting the airflow is the key to getting the pods to work. My bike isn't perfect but its certainly ride able. The original flat spot before doing any pod restriction modifications was utterly horrendous. Be prepared for a lot of trial and error!

Could be either, or both bearing/gear wear then. Just had a quick look on CMS and it looks as though gears are still available, which is good.

Awesome cheers. That certainly sounds like a likely cause. I think I'll just go steady on her for the remainder of the summer and not do any excessive millage. But it looks like an engine out and full strip is on the cards, something to keep me busy over winter!

Yep. The noise only occurs when there's load on the engine when on the throttle, in top gear.

The 1980 GSX1100 has been slowly developing a whirring noise in 5th gear. Not horrendous but definitely there. Doesn't make the noise while coasting, only when on the throttle. Shifts through the gears absolutely fine. I'm thinking it's the 84,000 miles on the clock that may be the cause. Obviously I need to open it up and investigate, but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this and what is likely the be the cause? Mainly so I can get an idea of what I'm getting into parts and price wise etc

16 - 42 on mine, with a 17'' rear wheel. It gets through the gears pretty quick! I'm probably going to try a 17 tooth front sprocket once the weathers cleared up

I've got the forks from my GSX1100ET stripped for a service. So figured now would be the time to have a fettle! Does anyone know of any set up tips, or improvements that can be made to these forks? As far as I can see they are in totally standard form, stock springs etc. These forks feature the air pressure adjustment, but I've never personally run them with any air in as they seemed unable to hold any. So I will replace the seals and O-rings in the air system while I'm at it.

Definitely sounds like a lean condition, which would suggest an air leak as Gix-er has stated. A good starting point regardless is to record your current carb settings. GSXR carbs have been used on your model with great success by many people over the years, so I'm sure someone can confirm if your jets and settings are in the ball park. The standard CV carbs can work well, I'm still working out some minor kinks with mine but I'm 90% there. Please note my engine is pretty highly modified and with a low restriction 4-1 pipe with very stubby silencer. So take this into consideration if you do decide to go the standard carb route with yours. You may not require such rich settings depending on your engine and exhaust set up.

Simoniz 'Matt Aluminium' Engine Enamel is good. Used on my 1100. Does have a slight shimmer to it but looks quite 'natural'. Done 1000 ish miles since painted and so far its holding up well https://www.getgeared.co.uk/simoniz-aluminium-engine-enamel-one-coat-tough-paint-spray-can-500ml?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ggshop&utm_campaign=ggshopbasic&gclid=CjwKCAjwzvX7BRAeEiwAsXExo1KM1AjA1PDuLGsSGfgobQq5n4PHXRz6UeUTWeD9NSrT3nJRPvrBuxoCogQQAvD_BwE

I've got this set up fitted to my 750ET. I don't believe its a specific kit for the bike. Just a generic oil cooler, with hoses I cut to length. The only specific piece is the replacement oil filter cover, which is a CNC made piece made from aluminium, with 2 NPT taper threads to attach the hose connections to. Unfortunately I wasn't the one to purchase it so I have no idea where it came from or who made it! The 750 doesn't have the oil sensor in the center of the cases, under the carbs like the 1100. So I think this is the only way you can do it on a 750, as the 1100 kits wont work. A crank breather may help stop your leaks
