  2. ive just reread your first post wraith (im dyslexic), you mean the two bits that wrap around the cylinders ?  they are for crash protection as they can be hidden behind a fairing, but they are quite stiff so they will help to keep the frame ridged. theirs nowt stopping you leaving them off but it might not help the handling !!!!

  3. do you mean the two frame rails that cradle under the engine ?  if so suzuki fitted them for a reason to give the frame strength.  without them it will flex and their will be only the two engine mounts at the rear.

    although to be fair, they dont have poor oil pressure, they have low oil pressure, but they only have that because thats all they need, i think time has proven that the low oil pressure isnt really a reliability issue.
    poor stator output on gsx's is a bit of an urban myth, the problems with reliability of the charging system were due to the design of the charging circuit using a phase that was switched by the headlight. bikes run with the lights always on had fewer charging problems because all three phases were working the same, and bikes with the reg rec wired directly to all three alt phases were equally untroubled.. the loom was the problem, not the stator, clutches suffered because these engines took so much abuse that eventually something had to give. starter motors, well, theyre a consumable, you might as well say spark plugs werent great..... ;-)

     

    agree John, :tu   yeah one of the things i did on the 750 was sort out the bodged wiring and do away with the light loop, its still running an original oem R/R  and it still charges perfect (for now)  the old motors where over engineered which makes them last, the engine in mine is so quiet for a 40 year old not like my 1200 bandit engine.

  5. USD stanchions can be a rite bitch to remove,  the grub screw normally seizes in but if you get that out unscrewing the stanchion is really tight. i did one of my legs a few months ago, will not do it again unless i have all the right gear, much easier getting a shop to do it.
