Plug caps, try swapping them around & see if the issue moves with them.

Thanks Gixer1460 & Swiss Toni, I have them all.
-
It's mostly for the lighting circuit, I think most colours will be the same on the 750/1100s of the same era. Many thanks, could I try the Kat one?

Does anyone have a diagram on file that they could share? Thanks.

If the plug is dry after driving it then it's not getting fuel. Strip the carbs again.
-
Not sure how close the 550 frame is to 750 but the 1100 A/C engine fits easily in a 750.

Does anyone with a GS750/1100ET 7/11 know if the head & barrels can be removed with the engine in situ? I suspect the mounts may have to be removed to lower it but having never tried I'm not sure. My old girl cold seized when I foolishly left it for a few years without oiling the bores first. I freed it off but it has been a bit oil thirsty ever since so it may be time for an 1170 & a head freshen up.

Get a flex head magnet and stick it in there, might save you a job.

The USA called it a GS, I'm not sure if there was a 16v custom officially imported but may be wrong.

From memory there were issues with early DJ kts when the needles were turned leaving microscopic machining marks that acted like a tiny file hence the worn emulsion tubes. They later made them by drawing from solid leaving a smooth surface.

I have RS34s on a std 1100ET engine & it runs beautifully.

You can split & re rivet a std chain, I've done dozens of them. You can buy a splitter for cam chains, google it & you'll find them.

I think this colour is candy gypsy red but can anyone confirm? I picked this NOS tail piece up intending to have it painted black to match the current bike but it's such a lovely colour I might get the bike painted to match it! Just found the part number 45510-45001-00J but I don't know if any of the number denotes a particular colour.

Have you got sparks to 1&2 but not 3&4?
-
Welcome, not many left as tidy as that.

EFE in a Kat all day long. Keeps it period.

I have aftermarket caps for 4 & 5 bolt Suzuki fittings i.e. early & later models & neither are close to your measurments sorry.
-
Oh & drain the carbs regardless.
-
E10 is the devils work, stick to E5 & if you're parking the bike up over winter either drain it or fill to the brim & put fuel stabiliser in it.
-
Great idea thanks, I'll start looking.

Has anyone here tried converting 1100E wheels to run tubeless tyres? It's commonplace on spoked wheels especially in the adventure bike world & seems to have been done on a few other makes such as https://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=99834.0 Please, no advice on if it's a good idea, I just want to know if anyone has actually done it successfully on a star wheeled Suzuki?
