So do you mean the brushes (touch the commutator

yeah i thought we were talking about the brushes 

[GS 650 gt starter motor]

if you can't find the right size then get bigger ones and cut them down, its easy enough to do. generally they are soldered in but sometimes they can be held in with a screw.

Yep thats what i heard

[Alternative engines for a 1984 GS75x frame]

the black engine will go in your white bike as its shorter from front to back than the silver engine,  dont know if they are taller though ? but you will have to make some engine mounts,  try it in the frame and see if any engine mounts will line up. if one does it gives you a starting point. 

[Alternative engines for a 1984 GS75x frame]

they made this engine from 80 to 83ish 

 

[Alternative engines for a 1984 GS75x frame]

you need to post a pic of your engine as their was a change around 83-84. 

[Bandit (or other) arm into GSX frame.]

i assume that gsx750 and gs75x have same engine? 

if you mean the 16valve engines then yeah, the 8 valve engine has different mounting points to the 16 valve but not miles different.

packed them with dielectric grease

they say not to do that !!!   its meant to go on the outside of the connector  to keep the damp out. 

[GSX550ES - GSX750F Wheel Swap]

probably the best way would be to fit a wider swingarm,  an aluminium one will be stiffer and look better than the steel one. 

[GSXR 750 brake problems]

have they got the anti-squeal shims in ?   ive had the same problem a while back and removing the shims fixed it.  

[1990 teapot K&N filter]

if it where mine I'd just fit an OEM filter and be done 

[1990 teapot K&N filter]

yeah what Joseph said,  some bikes don't like a free flowing filter unless you change jets or settings to suit.

Gs850 frame with chain engine 

The g frames are wider at the swingarm spindle area, so gives a lot of choices for swingarm wheel etc 

yeah i wondered that,  i did the same thing with a Zed 1000 shaft frame with a B12 engine in it.  loads of room for a decent swinger 

[GS swingarm options]

GS850 ?   its a shaft.  but anything is possible 

[Gsx1100 engine number]

you can get an idea from the colour, mines factory black and they came out around 83,  80 to 82 where silver.  but be careful it hasn't been painted by someone.   not much help though, sorry. 

[B12 Clutch Won't Disengage]

sounds like the clutch basket is not fully seated, are the alternator and crank gears fully engaged?  undo the alternator and see if it goes back all the way. if it does the alternator gear is wrong or not engaging.

What swing arm were you using Tony and was it on a gs750?

this one

Thanks Tony.. i guess there is a limit to how much you can reduce it by before the chain starts to hit the tyre ..

 

ive got a memory like a sieve but i think i had the RF carrier turned down 10mm and that give enough clearance for the tyre. but i did have to fit a thick washer behind the front sprocket for alignment, i wasn't gona pay £60 for another offset sprocket when a washer did the trick     

[Suzuki GS750. using oil.]

its not the end of the world bob, the only down side is the expense  

[Alternative Bandit 600 sprocket carrier]

RF 600 will fit.  the sprocket mount surface is a bit lower than the B6 but it might not be enough to line your sprockets up ?  i used one on one of my builds but still needed some more skimming off it.   

[Suzuki GS750. using oil.]

not healthy   you put the ring in the bore to check the ring gap. 

[Suzuki GS750. using oil.]

usually oil burning on start up is a sign of stem seals !!!  did you use good quality ones ? i cant see the valve guides being worn at that mileage but worth checking.  if you are pulling the top end off then worth checking the ring gaps.
