  1. Hello

    My bike is doing my head in at the clutch department

    I've come to the point in my investigations that i decided to buy a new set of the proper spec discs

    The 11F for some stupid reason like all it's oil cooled cousins has it's very own cocktail of parts, rather than Suzuki doing a generic setup that could work well for all.

    So it has 11 ferodo discs, the 2 outer ones being a different ref to the 9 ones in the pile

    Does anyone know what the difference is ?

    I know you should only buy Suzuki clutch bits, but the 2 outer ones are NLA 

    OF COURSE THEY ARE 

    Can I get away with using 2 inner ones ?

    Thanks

    In germany there is a paper from suzuki that the frame is the same and that it is allowed to mount a 1100 motor in the 750 frame

    Hello

    That sounds nice

    Do you have a copy of it ? I could do with that kind of official decree on paper

    Thanks

    Why are so many missing chunks from the bottom skirt of the sleeve ?

    I guess you've seen that on cylinder nº3 ? Its a detail on most if not all 1127, it's not a problem.

  4. I fitted 600 SRAD forks (SHORT !!!) to my Katana, with 18 inch slab rim.

    Bear in mind diameter of rim doesn't necessarily influence the diameter of the wheel, it the wall ratio of the tyre thqt does that

    I have the marving 4 into 1 exhaust you mentioned precisely to ensure good clearance.

  5. Hey

    Right, as some know I am in France, with the gay 100hp limit put in place back in '84

    I have a '93 7RW that I would like to open up to full power.

    I believe that unlike most bikes of that era where you just swapped over the carburetor lids, Suzuki went to extra trouble by addressing the following :

    - exhaust camshaft

    - ECU

    - exhaust header

    I have checked the microfiche and it seems that E04 (code for france) does indeed have a part number for the exh cam and the ECU, so anything on Eblag Deutschland should sort that out

    My question is about the exhaust

    Since they probably sold about five and a half of these bikes back in the day, the supply of performance parts is not exactly amazing nowadays

    Has anyone fitted an exhaust header from some other R, i'm thinking SRAD for example ? 

    I guess it boils down to downtube length and diameter and spacing of the spigots ?

  6. I read an article aboit a guy building a track kat and he did state that painting the fairing + cooking did deform it a bit

    Best bet for the curing process :

    mount it on the fairing stay using screws but not screwing them down, just locating

    I'm sure that will avoid any distorsion since the fairing will be braced in its proper postion

    I get the idea Joseph, thanks for the input but it still doesn't solve the issue of me walking like Bambi after a ten mile ride..:D

    Fitting aftermarket rearsets that you can adjust to be able to stretch your legs a bit more + I fitted LSL bar risers on my 11R, it would make the position closer to a GSXF for you

  8. Hi.

    I did this to my '93 boiler :

    K8 fork wheels and brakes, rims powdercoated metalflake pink, Nitron race pro shock

    Improves the riding, makes for a great resto mod look, is easy to do and very fast to finish as well. Cost is reasonable too.

    Seems like your bike is the perfect candidate for such an update
