Pics?!

I'll be getting some pics up today

Well picked up a '93 750 just before christmas. Seems quite a comfortable bit to ride and a pretty smooth engine. It came with a set of top yokes and risers, headlights brackets and a steering damper aside from the fork bracket missing. Just starting to clean it but I imagine a few bits will be swapped over or removed soon. got a k7 1000 rear shock which I'm told is a direct bolt on so will give that a go as both the front and back seems a tad soft. Will have a look MadB, i'm in south london.

Hi MadB, Weight has been my main concern with this bike however seeing as i've owned a bandit I imagine i'd be ok! Was planning on using it for a few wheelies, rolling burnouts etc - so the water cooler & fan is the main thing for me. Interesting to know a K series rear shock fits, got a k7 1000 off my bandit lying about amongst other things. See this bike has the same 6pots as my bandit but this wn has been sat outside by the looks of rusty bolts and modified distastefully with crappy coloured footpegs and fairing bolts they may not be in such great condition. Not to mention it's had a fair few owners (12!) and he wants £1000, does this sound on the money? I'm looking elsewhere for a later model but they seem thin on the ground.

Evening all, Looking at buying a 1994 Gsxr750 wn, are there any common faults with this bike especially with the age? Looking at turning it into a subtle non-faired/streetfighter which I want to use to piss around on before i get too old . Currently have a b12 and a gsxr 1000 k3, like them both but I want something inbetween and power not being a necessity. Viewed a 92 but seems that the 94 bike was better equipped, more powerful and lighter, somehow? Any hints, tips and suggestions welcome.

Pretty much spot on, nothing in the way of flat spots and pulls well through the whole rev range.

As mentioned previously try bigger mains. I've pissed about for hours with my mk2 B12 and 110 arn't big enough for a stock filter with the hole mod, let alone a k&n filter. Setups in mine currently is 117.5mains, bottom needle clip, stock filter with hole mod. I've also tried 127.5mains, bottom clip, k&n w/hole mod.

Was there any particular reason you used the k5 link pipe? I know the OEM k4 one has a valve but was that the only reason?

^^ this on a gsxr1100, i will soon be trying on my bandit so will report back with measurements etc

Welcome, what did that tank come off? Looks like a coffin.

What boost are you running, is there much in the way of lag. And the turbo looks the same height if not lower than the sump? Are you pumping the oil back up?

Noisy too with that screamer pipe, what sort of power does that produce and what front discs are those?

As I suspected, top stuff. Cheers

Does anyone know the hole centers and what calipers came as standard on a gsxr1100K fork?

Well it was a stock bandit, fuel tap appears to be working ok and starts up after sitting for a week or two no problem. Was dynoed/AFR checked and like yours spot on, maybe the popping and banging is just part of the fun. I purchased this ivans jetting kit after wanting a tad more power. Apparently pretty good stuff, doesn't seem to work well with my bike and now i'm thinking I should've just done it the normal way and jet it properly with a K&N and throw my wideband sensor on rather than wasting 100quid on a jet and needle kit. I purchased some replacement fuel tubes from NRP carbs, they've turned up and they're the wrong bloody ones. The mk2 b12 has a 6hex shaped emulsion tube with a o-ring and a male thread which screws into the body of the carb?

Ok nice one, well I did a proper plug chop, it's a very light choc brown. Bit light for my liking however I've restricted the airbox a bit (rubber snorkle) and adjusted the mixture screws to suit. This will do until my new emulsion tubes arrive! Cheers

[quote author=Fish91 link=topic=76775.msg732726#msg732726 date=1440754731] Some progress this morning, put the stock needles in at stock 3rd clip down. Drilled airbox and removed snorkle, 117.5 main. 2.5turns out. The bike goes like shit off a shovel full throttle, wheelie machine! Tiny bit rough still through 2-5K however it will happily sit and cruise at the speed without dying or missing like it was with ivans kit. Here is the plug colour, bit sooty as you can see, the white i'm a bit confused about can't be lean? Might raise the needle 1clip, does the needle affect full throttle?

Hi guys, opened up the carbs, removed the jets and gave it all a good blow through and clean. The float needles looked like new, no cracked rubber, the emulsion tubes looked ok tho I suspect two look a bit bigger than the other two..... anyway while I was there I thought i'd try squeeze some more power out, recommended the ivans jet kit, 117.5 mains, new needles and a drilled air box with stock filter. Apparently a good plug and play kit. Stupid making another problem without solving the first but seeing as the bike generally performed ok I thought why not! Anyway this kit came with settings which i've tried. 2nd clip down on this new thinner tapered needle and 3-4turns out on the M/screw. Bike wanted to wheelie like a good'un but won't run between 2-5K Literally will die. Will run smooth with choke, running lean? I then tried 3rd clip down, same again, definate improvement, but seems slower top end now and won't power wheelie as well. These needles are massively tapered from stock. Either way this setup doesn't work, perhaps it is my emulsion tubes but regardless I want to use this bike this weekend. Was going to put the stock needles back in the bike and run them with the modified airbox and 117.5 main and play with the mixture. Has anyone done a simple tune like this before and know if it works? If not will put it back to stock tomorrow. Cheers

Should've specified it's a mk2

Ah ok cheers, I'll order some tomorrow and see if these make a difference. The nuts wern't loose unfortunately, but thought i'd try a re-torque before buying a new HG. Problem after problem so far in ownership. My friend is trying to encourage my to buy gsxr1100? 36mm carbs off him but but i quite like the fuel efficiency and having it as a potential tourer.

Yea I put a blank on the airbox hole. The airbox was filling with fuel from spitting back so now I leave the drain plug out so it doesn't collect leading me to the suspicion it's fuel on the engine. The bike is using a bit of oil but the headgasket has recently started leaking aswell on the front left corner. I re-torqued that yesterday so that's hopefully done the trick. In regards to the needle valve presumably it wears out (thinner) and thus letting more fuel in? Fairly easy to replace by the looks of it? I took the bike to be dynoed at steve jordan and the mixture was bang on even tho I did mention the mixture screws are all over the place the bike generally runs ok. Say two of the carbs are 4-5turns out, If i make it 2turns it runs rich and dies.

Well carrying on from the last forum. Having a few problems with my motor popping loads on the overrun. I've removed the pair valves totally and blanked them off with no issues and it's still doing it. Also fuel or oil appears to be leaking all over the generator and around the part of the engine. Perhaps this is an air leak coming from the rubbers that need addressing?
