  1. Hey guys. Getting round to refurbing the swingarm on my Gsx759es. Got new needle roller bearings ok, but the bushes have been attacked by rust and are badly pitted where the bearings would roll. Are these tempered bushes, or could I just get my friendly engineer to lathe up a couple out of mild steel rod? advice please? Asking as I cannot find replacements. They seem to be in the same realm as rocking horse droppings.
  2. Hiya. They arrived last week and look the bomb! Can’t wait to fit them, but still working on the frame and wheels, so will be a couple of months away yet. Thanks for the link.
  3. Hiya Thanks for that. I guess I just dont have the patience to troll thru the thousdands of items to find what I want. I have ordered them just now - not bad conversion rate - less than $70NZ. Cant wait to see what they look like. Gotta be better than the current ones. Almost made me take a hamme rto the bike refitting them last time, as the rubber did not give. Cheers
  4. Hi Guys Looking for a set of Rubber inlet manifolds for a 1983 GSX750esd. Cannot be found in NZ, so figure I need to look overseas. Eblag short of useless in this respect. Any hints, links etc appreciated. The old set are as hard as rocks, and are cracked in places, so not wanting to put the old ones back on the engine. Cheers
  5. Cheers. I had suspected that, just wanted to check with someone who had the same experience. I can now put the angle grinder away
  6. Help!!!! I am trying to remove the engine from my GSX750. I have removed all the mountings (what’s with Suzuki using all odd sizes of bolt heads?..), and laid the bike down on its right side. I have jiggled the lump but am now stymied.. I can’t see how to move the engine high enough to clear the sump, but the rocker cover fouls the the frame up top. Do I have to remove the rocker cover to remove the engine? Any and all advice appreciated. Cheers
  7. Cool, thanks for that. Much appreciated.
  8. Hiya.the bolt you mentioned, is that the inlet bolt from the calliper line?
  9. Hey there all you gurus. A small question re the anti dive fitted to my 1983 GSX. I am looking to resto the forks, but don’t like the look of the anti dive bits. Would I be able to just blank off where the AD fitted, and just run the bike without the AD? I have seen a parts layout for these things, and it looks way too complex. Ideas / advice please?
  10. Yeah @banoffee, I realise this is a Suzi forum. I loved the 2 Suzi’s I owned. The TS400 and the Gs750E were stand out bikes for me.
  11. Hey all. When I was first introduced to bikes in the 1970’s, two strokes were all the rage. My first bike was a Kawasaki 100cc farmbike. One of my brothers had an 80cc Yamaha roadbike. My other brother started out on a 100cc Suzuki. I had the opportunity to ride a number of 2 strokes in my teens, as all my mates had the same bug. Oil burning, vibrating, high revving freedom. Among my most memorable rides were my brothers Kawasaki S400 triple - scary near full throttle, but could not go round corners in a predictable line to save itself and a good mates Suzuki GT750 waterbucket. That was an amazingly heavy beast that had really nice road manners, but could make your ears touch behind your head when you twisted the throttle wide open. Did anyone else experience the thrill of an old Sokol 2 stroke bike?
