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

stick an 1100/1200 engine in it, a lot easier.

Tubular Key Ignition Install

you guys never heard of front wheel drive I saw a security video years ago, it was a custom built van and yeah a couple of blokes in the back with a winch, it was sound proofed to help hide the sound of an alarm. i don't need to prove anything to anyone by the way, if you don't believe me i don't give a shit. -

talking of security, have you seen them van's that have the floor cut out ? they open the rear doors reverse over the bike and shut the doors, then lift up the bike and their off -
yes he does
-
he has way too many bikes but the Kat is one of his fav's

ive got a B12 swinger in my ET and yeah the slave cylinder rod needs tweaking to clear, its now close to frame and swinger but no contact.

I used to work for Crooks Suzuki and he has many parts for the old bikes . upstairs is an Alladins cave, worth giving him a ring.

when i got the 1100 engine for my ET the comp was down a bit and it smoked a tad, but after 500 miles the comp is up to a reasonable amount and no more smoke. yeah it had been standing for quite a while.
-
that doesn't look like a standard GSX1100ET swingarm in your pic !!!!!!! when I fitted a B6 wheel with a 150 tyre into an ET swinger the edge of the tyre was up tight against it when the wheel was pushed right forward, but with a slightly longer chain the wheel sat further back and had enough clearance. and im sure a B12 wheel with a 180 tyre would of rubbed against the swinger.

you need to find a proper bike shop
-
ive used shim steel in the past to take up the slack
-
if you are using the OEM swinger then you will only get the B6 wheel in with a 150 tyre, the B12 wheel/tyre is too wide. you will need to use a bandit calliper hanger so it matches the bandit disc, but because the torque arm is on top you will need a GS 500 calliper as they are top mounted.
-
you can use the OEM aluminium swinger or a B12 one, dont use a B6 arm their not as stiff. you can press out your gsx stem and use it in the bandit yoke.
-
saying that I put a B12 wheel (and swinger) in my GSX1100 ET, my chain runs close to the frame and the edge of the tyre and even when the chain is slack i haven't had any contact with the tyre or frame.
-
as wraith said a stem change on the yokes, if you use a B6 rear wheel you will have to machine the sprocket carrier down some, but you will have to offset the front sprocket a bit to get the chain straight. what swinger will you use ? you will have to change the calliper hanger and possibly the calliper as well.
-
only one way to find out
-
not my favorite bodywork on the GSX but we can't all like the same thing !!!! but I do like this one

Garage recommendations in the South East, (preferably Kent)...
TonyGee replied to Grunties's topic in Oil Cooled
sounds like a safe bet -
its running rich on no3, (over fueling) could be a leaking float valve.
