if it helps, I used a set of 32mm carbs off a GSX750 (1980) on my GSX1100 (1983 engine) as a temporary measure till I sorted the 34mm carbs out. and it ran good with no carb mod's !!!!!

the side plate that slides onto the 2 pins on a soft link should be a tight fit (it has to be forced on) unlike a split link where the side plate just slides on and then held in place by the clip. but saying that their are split links where the side plate is also a tight fit. does that make sense ?

you can use a hammer to peen the end of the pin over but you need to support the other end of the pin as it will just slide through the chain link. the end plate on a soft like should be a tight fit on the pins, so it only needs a small amount of peening to hold it in place.

yep i agree Joseph I did for a nano second think about swapping out the gsx engine for an oil cooled one but saw sense

nothing wrong with a standard B12 engine, good power and fast enough on a bike with no fairing and reliable. its not all about big power and silly speeds its about posing on a nice looking bike

you can't touch any engine when its up too working temperature

its a shame the bandit gets a bad press they are a great bike and fun too ride. the frame is stiffer than a gs/gsx and with good suspension they can handle good. ok the seat unit is not the best looking part of the bike but that can easily be changed ive had a few and loved them

nice had a black one years ago.

then get a file and just dress up the mating surfaces

put the old sprocket on top of the new sprocket and compare them.

don't see why not !!! I used bandit clocks on my ET for a while, just wired the pulse wire that goes to the CDI to a coil.

you can use an electric tacho but you will need to wire it into an ignition coil.

thats fecking crazy

when i built my zed with a B12 engine i found an airbox that slid in the gap between the carbs and frame, the rubbers where not in line so cut a sheet of ally and made holes for bandit rubbers, then glued it to the box with the help if a few screws. then its time to get the air flow right after a few road tests not a great pic of it though !!!!!!!

I never knew they did a 750G !!!!

yeah thats the problem

then someone installs the right bearing and hammers it all the way home and knocks the left bearing out

you will after 50 posts

I don't think you will find a manual for the SS !!!!! but the engine is out of a 1200 bandit. carbs are 32mm not 36mm that the 1200 bandit uses.

after years of heat their sometimes forms a recess where the clamp sinks into the rubber, this reduces the circumference and the clip will not fully tighten.

as Joseph said, the B12 engine is a bit taller so slightly longer headers needed.

fingers crossed

don't over tighten them as well as they can split the rubber thats the none OEM ones by the way as they dont have a curved edge

unfortunately the 750's aren't worth a great deal so I'd say it depends on if you are keeping it or not ? if keeping it then go for an upgrade

fecking hell !!! ive just checked the price £207 EACH !!!!! what are they thinking
