What does the petcock look like?
If it is not stock it may not need a vacuum line at all.

Can that damage to the journals be repaired?

GSXR switches are cheap an a hell of a lot newer than what you have. I just wire them in with new connector blocks

I would not trust the charging system on a 40 plus year old bike with a lithium battery.

oh, and if theres no interference with the frame, I highly recommend the side pull conversion. You have no idea how much you need it. Until you dont
Do the standard motion pro cables still work with the side pull?

Round tubes are just under 29mm and then square tube is 25mm.

I would not run RS carbs without a push pull. Mine have the return spring disconnected completely. Otherwise the pull is way too tiring.

Ended up getting a brand new set of RS36's as a partial trade for a GSXR front end and bits I was selling.
Installed, setup and synced and she is running well, idling smooth and no more spitting back through the carbs.

Here is image of internal side of switch + 'O' ring.
That is the outside of the switch with the electrical wire running from one side to the other. The spring loaded pin cant be running over those bumps all the time
This is a pic of a used one off Eblag and you can clearly see the ring on the switch where the spring loaded contact has been running against the switch.
Flip it around and you will be good

Yes guys, I have a New Old Stock switch from Suzuki (Australia),the original had a crack in it. As you point out both bottom images in replies show correct orientation of pickup (5 o'clock) whereas the spring loaded contact on the end of the shift cam is sitting at around 2 o'clock.
None of it is making any sense: the cam is in neutral, I can shift thru the gears ok. That's why I'm wondering if the cam is not one complete machined item and that the sensor end with the spring loaded contact pin is a press fit and I may have disturbed it somehow to the 2 o'clock position.
Thank you both for the feedback.
The switches in the pictures are showing the side that goes in. The pickup on both pics is at 2 o'clock in both as far as I can see.

Is there a part number on your neutral switch?
According to the parts fisch the switch should look like this. which puts the pickup in the correct position.

I used something similar the these Eblag ones. My front engine mount is an aluminum plate with a hole drilled through Hole drilled through and a aluminum rod bolted on. the aluminum is drilled out so that the metal part at the end of the slider fits inside, and the slider id bolyed to the aluminum rod.

Used carbs.
Waiting for new bits to arrive right now

I've been struggling with rough idel and low speed running on my Kat with RS36 flatslides.
I found that the no 3 carb has a 1.3 airjet (#43 on the diagram) and the other carbs have a blank jet in that location.
According to the Mikuni exploded view all the main air jets should be blank plugs.
What would the 1.3 air jet be doing in the one carb?

A K8 750 or 600 wheel should be 5.5"

If they’re std EFE forks, I have a set of OE bars which are quite low up for grabs.
07 GSXR 750 front end with I think 09 wheels.

Have you sat astride it with those bars? They look like a hell of a stretch!
Footpegs have not been welded on yet, bit it feels similar to my Kat when sitting on it.

Stock bars are pretty high, and most bikes with aftermarket bars are running Renthals or similar. Anybody running clipons who can comment on comfort. Fitted these to see how they looked and Im still undecided.
Need a bit of motivation as I have not done much in the last few months.

SV650 has wheels and axle / adjusters like that, but I think they are only 4.5"

Vapor blasting does not leave a good surface for painting. Soda blasting would be better. And the soda dissolves in water for cleanup.
