[Carbs suzuki inazuma 1200]

Yes you can use B12 carbs and rubbers. Or replace your fecked carbs with some off a B600. 

[Carb Kit (for '82 GS1000S Katana)]

nice project  

is that a red rocket next to the Kat ?  sell for good money in the UK,   but don't say its make  

[Slabside 11 mixture screws]

the general rule is to screw them all the way in JUST till they stop, don't over do it, then set them all to the desired turns out equally to start with.

if I had a spare tank i wouldn't bother, but fair play for having a go

[Restoration of GSX et Tank]

I'll sell you mine for a grand

Don't think there is but I might be wrong. 

yeah i think you are right clive,  might have to change the spindle to a 20mm one and bush the forks !!!!!!  

[speedo drive question]

anyone know if their is a cable driven Suzuki speedo drive that'll take a 25mm spindle ?

This does not have a CDI but an igniter

It defenitely is an aircooled 1100.

As it's black i would like to suggest to look for the 1983 to 1985 GSX 1100 ESD - the round tube frame version -  for the most results for parts and diagrams. 

As for no spark. If they re-used the original / model specific CDI or ignitor unit is now 40 years old , i would test that first.

I can not see it on the pictures BTW

[Down pipe options]

ive a black widow system on my bandit engined zed, fit is good, used a different can though. 

[Pick up cover.]

nope 

[inazuma swing arm swap..]

1 hour ago, Peterv said:

these look sure enough more beefy to me..

@tony I recon you'ld    welded some suspension brackets on the arm , the GSXR surely came with a monoshock..

 

cheers

 

Peter

Yeah brackets welded on 

[inazuma swing arm swap..]

the zuma swinger is a bit longer than a lot of others, when i built my Katzuma i had a bandit arm in and it looked to short so ended up with a GSXR1100 swinger in as in the pic.

 

[GSX1100E into upgraded modern GSX1100E, I need your help.]

the way I tend to do it is, pick the parts I want to use and then figure out how to make it fit. theirs always a way 

[Gsx400x Impulse problems]

glad its sorted  

i had a similar problem on a customers GT750 a while back, according to the temp gauge it was over heating, stripped out the cooling system and everything was good, so tried another gauge on and still the same, tried another 3 gauges on and still the same, (all used by the way)  so into the harness i went and nothing seamed wrong ?????  I was at a loss, so i said to my boss can we try a new gauge on so he ordered one and it fixed it.    3 fecking days trying to fix it when it was just the gauge.  such is life.  

[Cylinder #3 not firing 78 GS750]

5 minutes ago, ledman_70 said:

I have tried ALL of these suggestions to no avail. I have swapped the car bank between the 750 and 1000. Carb #3  from 750 bank won't fire on 750, but does on 1000. Same with carb #4. That tells me it's not a carb issue. Swapped coils and wires between both bikes with no impact, either.  Also sprayed starting fluid into the non firing cylinder with effect.  Covering the back of the carb on either bike will kill the engine, except for the non firing cylinder. The vaccum will suck my hand against the dead cylinder  without changing the engine, but it will get gas on my hand like the carb is blowing instead of sucking!  This just beats the hell outta me. I've wrenched on cars and bikes for almost 50 years and NEVER been baffled like this before!

time to pull the top end off for more investigation me thinks !!!!!!  

[A torque setting for a GS1200ss needed.]

just use the setting for a B12, but i just do it F.T. with a long bar 

[Is this a stock Mk1 B12 needle ?]

they don't look standard B12 ones to me either. 

[Mk1 1200 bandit front mudguard.]

I cut down a B12 mudguard on my Zed project,  not perfect but it'll do till I sort a better one out.

Mk2 bandit 600 could you take the barrels head pistons  and change them for a1200  set and the carbs 

would it work 

cheers mick 

no but a 1200 engine will fit right in, but then the brakes and suspension will not be up to the bigger engine, just buy a 1200.
