that wiring is crying out for some Bolognese sauce

are they ???? give me an old bike any day

it does with cars but never tried it with a bike ???

the big kwaka 6 pots are meant to be good, i know a few lads who have fitted them to busa's because of the spongy problem on the suzuki. i looked into it and it turns out they use different seals. I fitted a set of kwak seals to a busa once as the customer asked me and low and behold they blead up no problem and not spongy !!!!!!!!!!

it does make a difference if its done right.

I set the butterflies up on the bench first, open the idle screw a fare bit so you can get a thin drill bit under one, then set the rest the same. then you can do them on the bike with the gauges. (dont forget to adjust the idle screw before starting)

I tend to over engineer stuff so I would go thicker !!!! I don't worry about the weight of things

me too

mk1 bandits have 2 either side but the mk2 is one piece, don't know if it'll fit though. ?

I wouldn't remove the bung but not sure on the effect if they are removed ? I have a set of carbs from a 1979 bike and they have a threaded screw instead of a rubber bung, my guess is it would be cheaper to use a rubber bung than a steel screw. the drilling between the main jet and the pilot jet is easy to get to and clean out if its blocked.

not sure about your carbs but some have the pilot jet tube plugged as the fuel will come up through the main jet tube as their is a drilling that goes from the main jet tube to the pilot jet tube. it that makes sense to you

yeah it looks like a 600 bandit to me

the bandit pipes run from the carbs, over the top of the airbox and down to the bottom of the back side of the airbox.

now thats old school got to be better than a knotted rope

gota love the oldies Kris

yeah the UK did get a small amount of 750's but not so much the 1200. its very similar to the bandit and lots of interchangeable parts. I bought a 750 zuma frame and put a 1200 bandit engine, then fitted some katana bits.

what you making Garry ?

sounds like a dry/noisy bearing !!!! when I got my 83 GSX1100 engine it had a slight whine (nowhere near as bad as the video) and that engine had been sitting a long time. but after a few 100 miles its now quiet. have you got a mechanic's stethoscope ? great for pinpointing noises.

what Suzuki recommend. NGK

it depends on the bike, some go to the airbox and some just vent to atmosphere, ( like bandits)

vents

nail on the head Tony

yep

Suzuki isn't a big company like the others so they build to a price, all good for us as parts are more interchangeable

I left that too my welder mate
