nice baldrick, how did you do that ?

I did 2 under warranty where the frame cracked at the rotary mount, Suzuki never wanted any warranty stuff back except the frame headstock !!!!!! I had to cut the headstock off both frames, bloody shame as the tiny crack in the mounts could of easily be welded and re-enforced

yeah get rid of that silly suspension set up, (and check your frame for cracks) ive replaced 2 frames because of cracked frames but to be honest they could of been welded !!!!!

Ive seen that orange bike Toni, I think it works, its a revers of the black with orange decals

yeah they might be due a service

plugs look ok. it might be time to pull the carbs off for a clean/check. have you got a compression tester ? it wouldn't hurt to check the compression.

what does #3 plug look like, is it wet/sooty ?

I originally used 2 flat strips of ally with a bend in them, then when fitted to the fairing with the screen on I bent the flat strips to an angle I was happy with, then transfered the angle to some sheet ally.

if he's using the OEM swinger then GS 500 calliper and hanger are used as the torque arm is on top not underneath

yeah I should of said, I did a 530 conversion. with the sprocket on the shaft the splines no longer protrude past the edge of the sprocket but just slightly under. still plenty of splines driving the sprocket. this give me enough room to clear the tyre. yeah I do everything on the cheap

yep it does look well, but I like bandit's

Ive got a 4.5inch bandit 600 wheel in my GSX750, to get the chain to run equally between the frame and the edge of the 150 rear tyre I used a thickish washer behind the front sprocket to offset it, the problem their is you cant use the lock washer as the sprocket sits at the end of the splines. but the sprocket i used has 2 drilled and tapped holes in it so i made a plate to sit up against the sprocket nut to stop it from coming loose. then i had to get the rear sprocket carrier machined down so the sprocket was closer to the tyre. the chain is in line and I have loads of room from the frame and tyre.

I made mine and just guest the angle

if you change the bearings to 25mm ID the spacer between them will be too small.

ive got one of then crappy neon plug caps that the custom boys used to use, it was great for finding misfires, but I dont think you can get a long reach one like many suzuki's use ????? the one ive got is the short one.

thats what my gsx750 is doing, it has a very slight weep and looks like its coming from the gasket at the front of the cam chain tunnel. but after cleaning the oil off go for a run and you can see the oil running down the outside of the chain tunnel just underneath where the long nut and O ring live. will get round to replacing them at some point

It would be interesting to see a set of carbs on a GSX1400 Joseph, and how it performs

yeah good point on the sensors it would need. as well as a fuel pump.

shiny

I don't do turbo's but yeah your probably right

Noooooooo !!!!!! EFI on a bandit/GSXR engine give me carbs any day

ive seen conversion kits here in the UK for the oil cooled GSX's. have a look on the bay on E

bugger me Garry, not having much fun lately

If its not you will be able to shim it a little with washers.
