Welcome back to OSS. Try Eblag

Welcome to OSS can't go wrong with a Kat yours looks nice but must agreed about the paint work As to your question, I have seen on the net (cannot remember where, maybe flebay) that you can get a magnetic pick up sender for the front wheel which has a worm drive at the other end for the clocks.

If you have a hack saw, yes

Me too, mm evey day there is oldskool and then oilsteem

As above, clean tape/get a rebuild kit, check the hose is in good nick. Best way, take tank off remove vac pipe from carbs (smaller one) attached to tape, put other end of pipe in mouth and suck, if fuel comes out of tape its OK Make shore the breather hole in the cap is clear as this can stop the fuel from flowing

You know we are right

+1

The 750 katana motor is the same weight, unless you're meaning a gsx750f teapot WHICH IS NOT A KATANA and you will get so much sh#t for saying that The only why you are going to get more grunt is (if you can find one) a gsx1100 motor which are not cheep, or a gsxr/gsxr 1100 with new engine mounts (have a look on the main page as there are pics of the mounts you will need and a lot more grate stuff there). The standard gsx750et motors have not got much out there to make them go faster.

+2 As to the 750 into the 650 frame, I believe the 750 engine is much bigger than the 650. You can put a 1000 into a 750 frame and the other way around and you can put the 850 top ends on the 750 motors. You can put a 650 top end on a 550. As to your chain align, is it the 5.5" rear wheel? If so you can use a gsx1100f power screen rear sprocket carrier which will give you more room in the swing arm and will bring the chain in to words the wheel, doing this on my ET project and using a 520 pitch chain. I'm told you can also use the gs500 (twin) rear sprocket carrier, but you will need to change the carrier bearing.

As Viz says gsx1100et/efe, also gs1000, gsx750es, gsx750/1100f, gsxr750/1100. New engine mounts will be needed.

Welcome to OSS The efe looks well, did you do the work? The only good thing with a purist, is someone to sell all the sh#t you don't want from your project and get some cash back

OK, this is getting into more work than I was thinking, so I will go back to plan one

Miss W, has a 19 row 320mm wide cooler with a 8 row half width head cooler sat under the 19 row one. Works fine. PS welcome to OSS.

Welcome to OSS, So let me get this right, you've got a gsx750f and you're down seizing it from a 750 to a 650 with a smaller port and valve head why? Most people look at going bigger and more power not smaller and less power.

Cheers, I take it you put the 1127 output bearing on the b12 box?

Dose anybody know if a b12 gear box will go into a gsx1100f power screen crank cases? Thanks.

Welcome to OSS, nice bike the gsx

The little gsx250 is a great bike, they just keep going the only thing that let's them down is the Suzuki electrics As said above, stick around and see why OSS is the best Suzuki forum about, the more you take part in the forum the more you will get out of it

Mmm, not shore why it flips up on its own looks standard. You could try removing one of the springs, as all the ones I've seen have only one spring. Sorry can't be any more help. Nice looking bike

Not got one sorry, just what I remember from a old streetfighters mag

Cheers.

Yes I know a b6 What's the biggest carbs you can put on a b6? When I get back onto the gs550/b6 I've got the standard carbs, a set of gsxr1100j 34mm CV and a set of gsxr 36mm and thinking which I should put on and which to sell?

Hi and welcome to OSS As to your starting problem, anything below 100 psi you will have a pain to get it to start. Before striping the motor redo the compression test BUT put a small drop of oil in each cylinder, if the compression goes up it your rings, if it stays the same its your valves that are leaking. If so may need a regrind, if they are set right.

As said try the cable first, or if the clutch is starting to slip, has the last owner put HD clutch springs in?
