  1. Very interested in this job as I'm getting a cracking sound on starting, more often than not,

    Which I think is the bike telling me the starter clutch is about to go .

    Will need to change it . So as much info as you can, as working on engines has always lead to disaster .

     

  2. As 1460 says swap plugs and HT leads if the problem moves change offending item .

    Happened to me twice last month,

    First time took ages to diagnose going mental  changin carbs etc had spark but couldn't have  been strong enough it was the plug .

    Second time fixed in 5 minutes .

    Good Luck!

  3. Thanks for the comments, your Not a fan of the Ice Cream Van, I quite like it, should keep wind blast down abit the forks aren't getting fitted too much work, just want it finished .

    Should have it together soon then just make it look pretty .

  4. what like the first picture where the fuel rail is below the carbs float bowls . If this is not the case, what would you suggest the reason they fitted a fuel pump on the zuma 1200, too many fuel pump in the stores, and there was a stock check coming up? Perhaps .

    Who knows !

  5. For a gravity fed system that has to make a rise it will all be about pressure, a  2 meter drop from tank to out put will give you a pressure of 0.2 bar,  around 2.9 psi so 300mm will give you 0.03 bar around 0.04 psi which i Would imagine why the fitted a pump .

     

  6. Cheers for the link All good stuff will bypass pump and fit  the Fazer tap to see how many liters I have left in the tank, and I'll take it from there .

    Könnten Sie Mir bitte eine Link zu einer Kopie Des Handbuchs schicken?

    Regards

    Ah see the problem now the carbs are fed from below (see pic)IMG_20200720_124315682.thumb.jpg.93118a0cbb7c8489d37ef3f83ef44b8a.jpg

    When you lift the rail I don't clear intake (see pic)

    So would have to split carbs and replace fuel T pieces

  7. Have just turned my attention to this project and with all these things I just  pull them apart and put back just the things It needs or I like . And the fuel pump I can't see the benefit, have the gsf model got them

    The tap is above the carb level was going to junk the pump and fit a pingle I read the Mk1 gsf one fits

  8. Hi looking for an alternative for a slabby GsXR rear bulb holder, will say an RF 600 fit etc

    Had a look at Gsxr 600 K1 bulb holder look a good match, @ £15 it a bit of a punt.

    Any pointers in the right direction would be great

    All gs gsx pivot widths the same , the thou has a bigger spindle than the 550 though

    Seen a few GsX1100 et swingarms, 

    It has twin shock mounts

    I take it it will be the same dimensions,  any idea about shock angle? will this be badly effected IE shocks lying down too much, and width at rear axel as if I go with my wheel choices it not going that fat a rear tyre approx 120 section.

    Bandit arms are cheap and will go in with top hats

    Cheers, but need to make top hats then cut off the dog bone thingy, then get shock mounts welded on, for me I would need a lathe, and a welder,  of which I need both, so would have to pay someone to do it for me, which I would think is expensive, as I don't know anyone in the trade.

    And still end up with a steel swingarm, just a different shape.
