I've heard many stories of bikes running poorly with pod filters (espceially single pods), but not at idle. The draw is so low it shouldn't matter. Plus there's no airflow issues because you're stationary at idle. I run an 1100EFE motor in a GS750 frame and also use K&Ns (twin ovals) and have never had an issue like this. Maybe the guy with the 82 GSX hadn't rejetted the carbs to run without the airbox... What are you using to balance them? Might be worth putting some gauges on when it's doing this and see if one carb is dropping when warm.

This doesn't sound to me like an issue caused by compression. If it were me, I'd try another set of carbs on it first. Sounds like you've already done all the things that would idenitfy the usual issues. If it works with different carbs, you know it's the carbs. You might have some sort of blockage in one of the fuel circuits responcible for idling. It take it you have completely striped and (ultrasonic) cleaned the carbs?

Never found anything that worked properly. Gave up looking years ago. This is probably as close as you’ll find: https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/294773789548?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=L7BZvGFwT-6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=dppzeNacS2q&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have 400 Blandit clocks on an EFE-powered Gs750, but replaced the speedo with a GPS unit. I’m guessing your question is about how to fit the speedo drive on the GSX sprocket cover?

Thanks for this info. Super helpful! I have copied and pasted it so I can find it later. -
Hi there, Quick one: I am running an EFE motor with non-standard clocks and no longer have the oil temp gauge in the cluster. I want to add one and was wondering if I can connect any electric temp gauge to the EFE sender or if the senders work differently. ie I need to match the sender to the gauge? Thanks, Jon

Just to add to the reading list, I can recommend Motorcycle Tuning: Chassis by John Robinson. It's like my Bible. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Tuning-Chassis-John-Robinson/dp/0434917249

Really helpful! Thanks for the info. when you lined it up, did the chain alignment look good? -
Hi there, I have seen the swap done before and like the idea of upgrading to the OZ wheels. Anyone know what is involved in the conversion? I'm pretty sure I'll need spacers but what about disc offsets, chain aliagnment and spindles? I'd like to be able to cost it up full first as the wheels from eBlag will be around £800 on their own. Thanks. Jon

Ah okay. I knew there was a D-stamp in there somewhere.

New aftermarket fork stanchions or originals rechromed...
Jonny replied to Zappa's topic in Oil Cooled
I’ve never had a set rechromed but have bought a few sets from ABE in Greenwich over the years. They used to be £180 p/pair and I never had to buy a second pair for the same bike again. -
I seem to remember reading on another thread that the restricted cams were stamped with a ‘D’ for Deutschland.

Tips on what to look out for on an 1127 rebuilt engine
Jonny replied to DaveWhisper's topic in Oil Cooled
I’d try taping the pick up to the top of the seat, or somewhere where it is not enclosed, and take it up the road. You’ll know then if it’s a location issue with the pick up or not. -

I have a GPS speedo too. The pickup probably needs moving rather any setting up. Mine is under the tail unit but if it is not in just the right place you get that fluctuation. Great looking bike BTW!
