If it's been sat that long and hardly ridden overall, you'll probably want to change more than the fork oil, those seals will no doubt be on their way out soon if you put them back in motion ? Such a cool bike though thats a nice project to enjoy

45 hp and 30 Nm less on a Bandit, peak torque and power is 1000-1500 lower down on the 1200 though

Bandit 1200 and GSXR 1100 have the tall one 750s have the slim one

Hi I definitely do have the correct item i bought an OEM tap brand new from Cmsnl

Yes i've located some i'll give them a go.

No worries. Valid inputs anyway The parts fiche doesn't show them, but maybe using a metal washer on top of the fiber/seal washer could help even distribution and squish it nicely ? One thing that rubs me the wrong way is having spent all that time money and energy on rebuilding a bike as clean as this to be pissed around and not being able to use it potentially because of 2p worth of washers

Oh

115 main jet sounds small ? Although that wont affect idle

Indeed - tank was sealed before paint - seal between tank and tap is brand new Suzuki OEM - tap is recent, can't see it leaking from the body itself although once the fuel is weeping slightly the tap is all wet on the underside I'll investigate the washer setup

Yeah the thing is i forgot them first time round (years since i took this bike to bits) So putting them on after the first spilling i though it would be fixed. But nope

Hi Onto the teething problems of the newly rebuilt GSX1100 The fuel tap is leaking fuel, seeping out The tap itself i renewed prior to taking the bike apart, so it is secondhand but a genuine suzuki item Seal is new I initially forgot to fit the sealing washers under the sacrements But now that i have my problem remains It still looks like fuel is seeping down the screw threads, its not pouring out but obviously no tolerance is possible here Is there a trick i can use ? Thread sealing product ? Teflon ?

Well thats good 'cause i've scored the web and nobody has the size required (8x11.5x2.5)

Meanwhile, the carbs getting renewed That main jet is probably going to be obsolete though

Maybe uprated slabside 1100 clutch springs could help a bit ?

Also the trumpets will be 20mm high in the plenum, and i calculated 6500cc internal volume for it. Sounds good ?

Right I'm back at this. I've worked out what needed doing to respace the carburetors, and the bits are currently being machined by the guy who does that for me cause lets face it even if i did have the tools to do it... I've chosen mk2 bandit 36mm carbs, because the intake side is round, not oval like on the mk1, seemed more sensible since i'm plugging silicon hoses onto them. As far as spacing goes, it turns out that when fitting onto straight intake spigots, you can get away with only spacing carb 2 and 3 further apart. 1-2 and 3-4 have 2mm more on the Bandit rack so i should be able to squeeze them onto the spigots They've been taken apart and had a noisy bath, so they're now relatively clean, waiting on the rebuild kits and larger main jets One question i have for you is : While we're at it, I think it would be worthwhile renewing the butterfly shaft O rings, since this rack is getting pressurized ? Is this what you all do and also, is it a prudent job to undertake ? I've also cut down the alloy trumpets i had for another project, and the 8 machined spigots for the plenum and intakes are on order too.

Haha. Yeah i did the same. I have a GSXF 1100 with 750 box and slabside clutch with mk2 bandit sprocket cover, it took a bit of testing but ended up being the 101.5 rod. GSXFs and Bandits, 7R and slabside 11 use a 92mm, so no idea why i didn't need that one, however, After much testing it it is clear that the total length of the whole system including disc stack height needs to be spot on

101.5mm is the length of the rod on the last of the 1127R (91-92)

@gsxwhat engine and year is this you're trying to set up ?

92 mm on B12 B6

This bit ? https://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gsxr1000-2007-k7-usa-e03_model34302/strainer_1542005h00/

I guess you've checked it but is your fuel tank venting enough ?

1500 should get you custom made stainless steel replicas by an exhaust specialist with removable baffles etc ? I know polished stainless is not the same colour as chrome, so obviously it could show once on the bike, but at least durability is guaranteed, compared to chrome jobs these days

You'll be told it won't make a notable difference i think
