some people swear blind the TPS does make a difference but it does feck all !!!! unplugged mine on my bandits and for the life of me can't tell any difference.

changing the air filter to a free flowing one can upset a 1200 Bandit, even pulling the rubber snorkel out will make a difference !!!!

have you tried lifting the needles ? sounds a bit lean !!!!! as for the fairing noise, bin it and make it naked

yeah £400 would be a good start point, I bought a used but nearly new red tank a while back with 2 fine scratches (which i polished out) for £300 from a dealer !!!! it went on this bike but had to match the tail unit paint.

my guess would be around £500 mark for a new old stock one !!!!!!!!

regulator .

Thats not standard !!!!! Wonder if its some sort of repair for the idler gear ? not in line with the pin though !!!!! but is their an oil gallery right their ?

this is the Delkevic on my GSX1100.

did he not know a TL is a V twin

yeah im sure any GS1000/GSX1100 exhaust will fit but you might have to make a rear mounting bracket.

yep float valve.

if the carbs have had a good clean and all jets and drillings are clear i would be looking at the engine, do you know its history/mileage ? before doing any ignition or carb work the engine has to be healthy or you are just pissing against the wind !!!!!! do a compression test just to rule it out.

also check the condition on the 3 wires from the geny, (next to the battery) ive seen them get hot and melt the wires causing a short, had to replace the connectors on a few bikes and not long done my 1100ET with melted/corroded connectors.

the older big bikes used 630 chains but the more modern bikes use 530 and even smaller, they are stronger and lighter. I use a 530 on my GSX1100ET and on my Zed 1200 (with bandit engine) a 525. by the way, if you have 630 sprockets you need a 630 chain,

630 is standard but it might of been converted to 530 ?

and we are all thankful for that

can't say for sure if the 850 wheel will fit !! but you might have to change the shaft drive unit or even the whole swingarm

are you talking about a GSX1100 ? if so my latest GSX11 has a B6 rear wheel and stock GSX swinger, front sprocket is 10mm offset, but the rear sprocket carrier is off a GSX600F which is slightly slimmer than a B6 one. i had 10mm taken off it to get the chain in line but my guess with a B6 carrier it will be "about" 15mm, thats not an exact measurement but will put you in the ball park.

check all the connections to the Dyna first.

it only lets a certain amount through, the rest is metered and adjusted by the mixture (fuel) screw.

it is metered, by the pilot jet.

Ive just done some quick measurements of my GSX11 and B12 engines and theirs not a lot of difference really !!!! the only big difference is the GSX is about 3.5 inches wider along the crank plane because of the geny.

that small hole is part of the idle circuit, can't I/D your carbs though.

I assume they have had a proper clean and they have been balanced ?

A sight you never want to see
