    DOP calipers

    This could be my clouded memory but I had an rg250 and it had 2x4 piston calipers on the front and 1 x 2 piston calipers on the back, which made a total of 10 pistons. Suzuki came up with DOP for deca opposed pistons.
  2. https://bikes.suzuki.co.uk/news/suzuki-heads-back-to-the-super-sausage-cafe-for-classic-suzuki-sunday/ Might be of interest to anyone in the area. Just realized I put this in the wrong section.
  3. Have you fixed it? from recent experience of a similar problem I found pilot jets blocked and a low fuel level in the tank caused 1 and 2 to stop working before 3 and 4, no idea why.
  4. It's what happens when you type a word like Gurls blouse or say what now!?
  5. Just an update, it's working now, the float valve was sticking and not letting enough fuel in to make it run on 1 cylinder but enough to run out when opening the drain screw. Aren't carbs fun!
  6. just got back from the shops with a plug spanner.
  7. My bike (a 91 750 with 38mm carbs) had been left sitting for ages and the carbs had got gummed up. I had them all cleaned out and put them back on again with a new throttle cable. I got the bike to fire up on the choke and it was ticking over on all 4 cylinders off the choke when I discovered the new throttle cable was making the throttle valves open up (I had the cable off the twist grip, it was only when I connected it up that I noticed the throttle were opening). I took the carbs off again and modified the cable to make the throttle shut properly but then when I put it all back together again it only fire up on 3 cylinders, the right hand side exhaust isn't getting hot. I checked there was petrol in the carb by opening up the drain screw and petrol came out, I couldn't check for a spark as I need to get a plug spanner. I have taken the carbs off again, taken off the float bowl off the carb and checked the choke is operating, the jets seem to be ok. I also took the top off to check every thing looked ok. Which jets are used when the bike is on choke is it the pilot jets? When you pull the choke it opens a window in the top of the carb, is that all it does, I can't see that it does anything else. My mate has offered to sort it out for me but I would rather get it going for myself if I can. A point to note don't by cheap throttle cables off Eblag unless you want head aches!!
  8. What material is the needle spacer made from?
  9. Talking of huggers the one on my 91 750M is white plastic is that normal?
  10. f=36 r=42 (1bar =14.5PSI) which is the same as where we came in.
  11. He put a lot of work in, nice looking bike at the end of it all.
  12. I didn't notice that, utterly shocking . I'll get my coat.
  13. Nice build, white wheels for me too but what do I know.
  14. Ideal for popping down the chippy
  15. Nice glowing fanimold.

    Restricted?

    The way things are going it won't be long before the most powerful bikes will be unavailable to new rides they already have the 33BHp shit.
  17. As already said if you have a loose connection it can cause arcing and melt stuff. I had a loose fuse holder on my LC and it got hot enough to melt the solder holding the fuse wire in the fuse. Took ages to find the fault as the fuse looked fine but didn't make connection.
