Sounds lame but putting small zip ties - 1 around plug lead #1 and 4 round #4 will ensure you never mix them in future
Do that zip tie bit with all my bikes just makes life much easyer
-
Yep swap the leads from 1&2 to 3&4 etc and see if the problem change sides
May also be duff pulgs, had new plugs before now that gave a good spark but would not run a cylinder, so if the lead bit dose not change anything try changing the plugs

The swing arm, you can make spacers for the swing arm and it will safe, if you're worried about that make some sleeves out of steel to 1. Fit inside the standard swing arm points in the frame, make them to take up the extra room swing arm to frame 2. As they are make from steel you can then weld them to the frame and also brace them to the frame as well making them very safe
You will find the standard gs650 tyres and size will not be able to cope with the extra power of the b12 motor, you will be adding about 50% power roughly.

Look at the replys seems the main thing you need is beer
Or is that to help stop the pain when you drop the engine on your toe

Yes interchangable.

I used a slingshot rear wheel complete (sprocket carrier, brake etc) the main thing you need to do is make new swing arm chain adjusters to take the 20mm Suzuki spindle as the kwak one is bigger, so you could still use the b12 rear wheel

Welcome to OSS
If you're keeping the standard tank, you may need to move it up a bit so it clears the cam cover/carb tops.
@Nigkathas just done the same b12 motor in a gs650g frame may be worth a look
I did a gs1000 using a G frame, made some top hats to weld into the frame where the swing arm threads are, then used a kwak zx9r swing arm (much wider at the pivot points than suzi) then made a one off spindle and some small spacers and weld shock mounts on the swing arm to keep it a twin shock. ( project is on the old site as project scrapheap.) Pic of the gs1000 chain drive in the G frame.

Gasket size for the zorst into head are different, smaller on the b12.

We like pics

Hi and welcome to OSS
front end, yes you can keep Speedo drive, but I believe you will need to fit the gsxr brake discs to the bandit wheel. I presume it's a bandit 1200 front wheel your using?
Rear wheel, its been done many time so someone may be able to tell you.I
If not, best way to start is get a standard b6 wheel, wheel spacers, brake hanger and sprocket carrier, you can then offer it up to your bike/swing arm and see how far your out. Keep the spacer that sits between the wheel and brake hanger, you then know the brake is spaced out weight, then check the wheel is central to the frame/head stock, then look at chain alignment.
Or that's how I start these things
-
All depends if you want to keep it standard or not?
You could use any of the oil cooled one's and/or kwak zxr, and most probably many more.I
Some of the know it all's will tell you that only a slaby one will work, but I've used different ones for different bikes with no problems.

Cooler maybe a b6 or 750 teapot?

Thanks for the suggestions
Any pitfalls in stripping the carburettor
Should I assume I can reuse gaskets
The gaskets are rubber, so yes can be reused.

Welcome to OSS.
You might get better info on the power screen 1127 oil cooled bike in the oil cooled section
How long has it been from it last was started?
I'd start with new fuel and check you have a spark on all 4 plugs, if its been stud for any time a carb clean maybe in order.
-
I believe the CDI from a slabside will not work with a 1127 or b12 motor, unless you get the engine pick up off a slaby, as the 1127 and b12 have a 2 pick up plate and the slant has a 1 pick up.

You write English much better than some English people on here (not mentioning anyone in particular, but thinking of @wraithright now
)
It's not me, the people in my head tell me to do it.

I used the plastic part of cotton wool buds on my kat
white but look good and work.

Seen people use gsxr/gsxf needles to replace the oem ones.

These
If not good old fashioned crash bars, don't like mushroom's as if the bike dose go over the mushroom is taking all the wait of the bike just on one m8 or M10 bolt in just one place, so more chance of damage due to transfer of energy to one place, where as crash bars will help spread the transfer of energy.
Or that's how I look at it

When I was dispatched riding had a 250 was great around town but go on a motorway and it got imbarrasing, when it took what seemed like all day to overtake a hgv
I think the best I got out of it was 65mph and top gear had no pull.
Got a 400 engine and carbs and it would do 110mph all day
never got to know why the 250 had no top end even a wet dream had better top end but the 250 would rev to the red line in all but top gear, 4th gear would get there but slow, always seemed like top gear was just a overdrive gear.
-
Yep, had one years ago mover got more that 55-60mph ended up putting the 400cc motor in it, much more fun.

The only resin I've painted my ET is because I keep changing my mind on bits
and it's easier to give it a blow over with paint it I alter bits
