What should i be paying for a engine with no idea of its miles or history Theres a gsxr1100 k engine local to me asking price £700 but no idea of its miles or history or if it even runs sat in a workshop for years apparently. Also Gsx1100f Bandit 1200 Whats a fair price for these engines with no history. Cheers

Away to pick up a tidy looking 1990 gsx1100f rolling chassis minus engine and loom and exhaust getting it for £200 thinking of building myself a cheap touring bike with it just wondering what engines will fit straight in? I'm thinking gsxr1100, bandit 1200 and obviously gsx1100f are these engines a straight fit or is the gsx1100f engine different in any way.

Ive done a bit searching as to looking for an easy rear shock swap for my mk1 bandit 1200 and seems that the k7 k8 gsxr 1000 sounds like a fairly easy swap with just some washers for spacers needed. Has anyone done this and if so is there a noticeable difference in handling

Put some fresh fuel in it last weekend and it just turned over and wouldnt start i came home from work today Friday evening and turned it over fired up after 30 seconds or so and ran pretty good took it for a quick run first time on a bandit 12 what a hoot i was going to mot it and sell it but think i, ll hold on to it for summer and see how i get on with it.

Im p Worth a try as far as i know its stock carbs. Im not great with carbs just how do i check needles or imulsion tubes for wear? Thanks

The last owner did say to me he thought it was a float valve problem i, ll have a look at those seals thanks. Only done 29k

Pulled the carbs off today and they look clean and they have recently been rebuilt new jets ect Gave them a blast of air and carb cleaner back on the bike and runs exactly the same. No idea what the problem is.

Is this suff not similar to the yamaha stuff got recommended this from someone but never heard of it.

Hello folks been away from suzukis for a while bought my self a 97 bandit 1200 s at the weekend no mot and requiring carb work its been sat of the road forv3yrs so might just need carbs cleaned again but the guy said he rekons it needs float needles. I thought maybe imulsion tubes not stripped the carbs yet the symtoms are takes ages to start from cold once it does it runs rough then eventually clears and idles ok and will then start fine but if you try and ride it it bogs down when you open throttle and conks out sometimes. Does this sound like float valves or imulsion tubes symptoms? Possibly just in need of a strip and clean. Cheers Steve

Yeah I just picked it up today and those photos were sent to me before I bought it. It's actually not as bad as it looks in photos so I reckon we'll worth it.

Can this damage be repaired or not I know the large dent should be easy enough not sure about the other dent. Getting the tank for £20 so I thought worth a shot.

You get mounts off ebbay for the gs not sure if there any use?.

That looks awesome got me thinking now. Is it much work for this arm to fit the gs 750 frame.

My thinking was the standerd skinny swingarm wouldn't be great with the extra power I, ll be adding. H
