Gsxr1000 or Hayabusa engine
Leblowski replied to wraith's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
As @Captain Chaossaid i have done a k4 thou in an srad750. Later added a slipperclutch from a k6 or 7 wich was an easy fit too. It was quite simple i must say, it took me 1 day to get it in and make engine mounts. Maybe a day or two for the rest. -
On my kwaka gsxr turbo build i build a new Loom from scratch only using the bare minimum of what was needed. I used switchgear of a newish bike cant recall from what and used a gsxr ignition switch. I only Needed brakelight, horn and light so it was a very simple Loom. Set me back like 75 euro so perfect

RG250 MK1 front brake caliper upgrade
Leblowski replied to alfiestorm's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
I have the mk1 with four pots, dunno but maybe the mountingholes are the same so you might be able to source some original mk1 four pots an your sorted -
I also had q fubarred rearshock, i bought a new 2020 ninja 400 shock wich needee little work to make it fit. As i use this bike only on the street it works good enough for me 65 euro and a little welding cant beat that. Took of the eye of the old shock and welder to the ninjashock.

Been riding this bike for a while now, its reliable and goes like stink. Must say its anoying to ride on speeds between 100 and 120 if its windy its constant switching between gear. Probably the downside of a small two stroke. Had major problems with the frontbrakes. I refurbished calipers and mastercilinder new brakelines also. But spongey spongey no matter what i did. Theres air in the system somewhere. Decided to take out the antidivesystem and now its much much better. I am really happy with this bike such a cracking little big fun bike to ride.

Did a small ride out, everything works as it should. Revs and pulls perfect. The smoke cleared so i am happy no engine rebuild needed. I am gonna enjoy this cracking bike coming summer!
-
Yep a bit of smoke, it stood for about 10 years so i will take in for a gentle ride, lets see if the smoke clearing. If not the a crankoverhaul and new pistons is probably the next thing

So Started working on this little bike, it looks untouched it had the usual maintence but it hasnt been abused. Started with the usual stuff, forkseals, tyres,chain,caliperseals, carb overhaul,brakelines and other engine seals wich looked suspicious. Parts are very hard to find or not to find so i had to buy imitation for some parts @Jellywas so kind to ultrasonic clean the carbs for me. Downside still not running as the supplier of carb parts did not deliver what i asked for. Luckily i found a bellypan and an imitation seatcowl to complete the bike. Keep ya updated!

Gsx400x Impulse problems
Leblowski replied to Leblowski's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
Well if thats the case then of all the 5 sets the wires and or caps would have been faulty wich could be the case but i think not. Thing is all of the sets where old and came from bikes i took apart in the past. As i mentioned all of the sets where measured and gave proper resistence as prescibed in the workshop manual I even testend leakage from the leads and caps in the dark spraying with a plantspray wich did not gave any suggestion that would be the problem. -
Gsx400x Impulse problems
Leblowski replied to Leblowski's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
For those wich are interested... I have solved the issues on this bike and it runs perfect now. What was wrong ?? I almost threw the towel but decided to give it one more try, as i thought it was an electrical issue i started measuring al elektrical components including the coils once more just to be shure. In all those years i am spannering on old Suzuki's i thought this aint gonna win from me. So after measuring and testing the only problem could be the coils, but the resistance from them where spot on hot and cold. I have about 5 sets of coils so i tried another set wich where measured and tried them still the samen issue. After trying 5 sets wich all gave factory spec resistance hot and cold i still had the same issue. So i thought wtf is going on here, i rembered having a set of 750 stick coils somewhere > sourced them installed them.. Damn the issue was gone !! so now we have a good running bike wich starts on the button hot and cold. So dont believe what you measure and never ever use old coils, i can tell you i wont ever again! this bloody bike stood about 1,5 year because of this. -
I did not Swap swing arms I took a slabby swing arm, chopped the part that holds the suspension mount and welded in that part from a slingshot to get rid of the ridicilous non adjustable slabby linksystem. In that way the swinger looked like a slabby swinger but now ridheight was adjustable.
