ive got a 1340 big block gsxr, and it isnt really a problem om the street as long as you keep away from drag cams and ridiculously high comptression etc. it wont go through rings, unless the bore clearance is miles out it will overheat and id definiitely fit an extra head cooller if you put it in a streeet bike, and avoid citys , as it will overheat, especially without additional cooling. citys are boring tho
-
best tip is to remove the sump and get some 2mm plates under it, on top of the lower frame tubes. this will level the engine and from here you can pack it upwards till the gearbox sprocket is in the right place, in relation to the swingarm pivot and rear wheel spindle, which is probably the most important part of the entire swap. see tony foales book for guidance

i had to trim my side panel, as i had to move the engine over for chain clearance. also fit the exhaust to make sure it clears frame downtubes
-
lower rear engine mount is smaller on the 750, but a drill will sort that, and carb intakes are different from various gsxr 1100/1200 blandit engines, so try the engine first, with carbs and filters to make sure they clear tjhe petrol tap and the side panel
-
bandit ones will also fit
-
it looks like your yokes have barely any offset, think thats why tjhey look so steep

Gsxr swing arm movement??????

theres only really 2 possible scenarios here, considering the bolt is the right diamater. its either the bearing is worn out , (unlikely as you have fitted new ones), or the hole has ovalised through wear. best bet is to get the verniers out and measure the hole in a few places. -
just thought that seeing as the lad was asking about dot heads...
-
im presuming thats a dot head then aye?
-
because the fcrs are better carbs, thats why. id sooner fit a std head with fcrs rather than a dot head with rs40s
-
a base gaskets cheaper than a new head , id just change it
-
ive put them into a kat. they arent the longest to be honest, imho they are a bit on the short side, unless you are putting extensions on them, or unless you plan drag racing .

they usually have a code on the sides just above the float bowl on mikunis anyway. it might be feint as its etched on rather than stamped. give it a good clean and see if there is anything there. those cheap dynatek ignitions arent all that great, lad on the z forum got stranded when one of the magnets fell off it.

penetrating oil for a day or two, then rag with mole grips does the job.
