Air cooled tank locks open easily with a variety of things , try a cheap small padlocks^ key

It will probably work but maybe give an improved speed , what are the part numbers for the drive ? How different can the gearing in there be

How do you put new stanchions on the usd forks , as they have cast ally feet the axle mounts to

I'd give it a go if you've found ones u think will fit , who needs a bump stop , what is that anyway ? If it doesn't work sell them on , can't be much dollar's right

What clip ons are those ? Looking good

Dezza I like your thinking I went for option 3, move home closer to the Job . The bike gets cleaned for Mot if it's lucky , always seems a shame to wash off a year's worth of waxoil ! Arnout , that is a good job ! So you just trimmed a relief into the hugger to fit right. Hmmmm I wonder what hugger is a good match for a gsx1100 swinger with 4.5 , 17 " wheel , anyone have ideas ?

Or how to suppress spray from my gsx750ex this winter. Idly trying to test fit a b12 hugger on it and it just wouldn't sit anywhere near right . Someone must have done something like this , or is it just me concerned with everything getting stupidly filthy. Lots of Devon roads act like rivers in the winter might get some wellies and goretex ffs

But if the tank is above the rail and the carbs, gravity should still flow !

Might be just the rings want changing not the pistons . Strange that it's just low on one. Maybe it is a bent valve not sealing , maybe blow-by at the gasket. Every single part needs measuring with micrometer and checking to spec in the manual , the evidence will be there

i dont speak norwegian mate lolz ,.. I think you need to see a picture of a gs cdi loom connector to check the pin orientation . I'll try to remember to take one at the weekend

Piston rings ? Comp test with oil squirted thru plug hole , would it change ?

Can you take photo of the loom under the seat, a photo where you think it all fits ? Hell a photo of the complete bike !

Connect it to the side stand switch

As in why does my 750L front end feel odd through the lever, ses feedback on the mot as advisory . Deliberately dumb question . The disks are barely used but it sat outside for years, is it the surface rust polishing off ? The calipers were stripped, cleaned and are not seized , everything seems straight . Does anyone know if an advisory has to be fixed for the following year ? Cheers

That earth cable might need to go to battery negative

If someone counted Sixty five links mounted on the bike , thats 130 and very very long . I'd spend a while rechecking that . Does anyone know a rule of thumb with swingarm length and distance tween sprockets to give chain length and link count ?

Can I bolt on my gsf600 carbs ? I think they're 33mm . My 750 et doesn't make the power it should after it lost its air box sometime in the past. It's got the manifold and the single large foam filter on currently. I suppose the real question is , what carbs does that model have and can someone link me to the correct type jets . Cheers

I reckon it'll be fine , can only have been a month. Maybe it's leaked past piston rings and there's an extra pint of water in the oil , even then it'll just evaporate . The worst I can imagine us the rings have rusted and will ruin my cylinder grrrr

A fuel tap diaghram and four float valves is definitely worth a working bike ! How much are tyres over there ?

So you have twelve volts at the low tension on both coil ? If not how far back till you find it ? At the coil connector block ? At the cdi ? The cdi switches one coil to the other . Get a pdf of the suzuki factory service manual it session how to test the cdi (in a limited fashion) with a voltmeter . How is the contact between the pins on the connector blocks .

I've found on my 82 gsx , the female pins in the connector blocks had increased diameter, so the actual joint was bad and much lower , if any, current got through . It's where they are bouncing around abit and those forces kinda bend them . Sounds crazy right lol. I was stumped, running on two, intermittent and weak spark, tested for volts at the coil LT and those wires in the connector and back at the cdi box. I first thought the cdi was not ^switching^ properly, then tested the volts the other side of the connector plug randomly and figured out it was the connector . Even then it took time to see the male and female pins didn't fit together tight ,it all looked fine ! There's an ignitor test bit in the suzuki service manual quite interesting, u can see the spark at different times , can't totally remember . Might help . Carry on ..

That compression is probably why 8ts a hard starter , but as said above if it can be run up to temperature that might get the valves nd rings sealing better . I'm surprised it's not popping and banging with the starter fluid though, are the plugs wet ? almost as if it's not sparking or valves not opening at the right time. Are the clutch , neutral and Sidestrand switches at play on this bike. Are the coils definitely wired right, Lt and ht. Are timing marks lined up , correct number if cam chain links between them. Has someone f@cked up the valve clearances years ago and that's why it was put away. What does the kill switch and fuel line look like, is there some crazy simple shit somewhere. (Does anyone know if it's possible to drop the cam chain off the crank and unwittingly reassemble it with timing out, it shouldn't matter right ? As with no1 at tdc and with the cams set right , the crank has to be right , or could it be 180degrees out ?) Find an oil cooled engine for it is an oft quoted aphorism round here, they're faster anyway !

Are the build threads for his bikes on here ? Wasn't that the old old site

I never should have said in a jiffy ffs . I'd lay off messing with carbs until you've done a compression test ! Soak loads of carb cleaner through them , fill up the float chambers with it . Soak loads of silicone into the rubber manifolds , the joint with the carbs.

That's a remarkably clean looking bike considering the accessorised chrome majority of stuff riding round Asia. I bet there's not a lot of other big bikes where you are , how the heck did you get that swingarm there ?
