Captain Chaos

Can't think of anything else at the moment. After my holidays i'm going to order new valves and seats. Any recommendations? Original Suzuki cost €60. EACH. O-rings are almost new, replaced a few weeks ago. This morning while it was still not too hot (at 8:00 it was already 23 deg. C) i went for a ride. The hanging revs have almost disappeared, but it's still there. And now plug #1 is black instead of 3 & 4.

Splitting crankcases with a hammer and chisel before all the screws are undone. i thought you knew that. Also applicable on other engine parts

sorry for stating the obvious but you're not doing a fish ar you?

First i had a Dame Blanche and then I checked the valve clearances. All within spec. Only one intake valve on cil. 3 was slightly tight, adjusted it closer to the upper limit (0,15). now going to reassemble the thing and test ride it. Weather and beer permitting of course.

Checked that as well. Working in the prescribed manner.

Tried it, no improvement. Gonna report back after the valve clearance check (could take a while though, hot and sunny weather here. And a free day )

Oh yes and on my bike the spark plugs 1&2 are good, 3&4 are black, like it's getting too much fuel in those cilinders. Carb clean and rebuild didn't help. That's why i thought it might be a compression/valve clearance issue. Been using the bike for 8 years with only oil changes so it's about time i do some maintenance.

I'm having the same problem now with my B12 engine and carbs. Roll off the throttle, revs drop slowly. Snap it shut, all ok. With warm engine only. Had been OK for years but a few weeks ago this problem appeared. Tried new spark plugs, a new throttle cable, no difference. Tried without throttle cable, no difference. Ultrasonic cleaned the carbs and reassembled carefully, no difference. Now going to adjust the valve clearances (weather permitting, it's too nice to work on the bike, better go for a ride on one of the other bikes ) and see what difference it makes.

yes.

34mm CV's.

buy another parts bike

the more crap it is, the more it's supposed to have "character". Just like Ducatis and old British bikes.

65 - 69 Nm.

The GSX1100E (non-American spec 1150) has regular forks without the air adjustment thingy.

EFI and turbo is the best solution.

750 has integrated license plate light, 1100 does not.

even though it's made from wood, it's probably leaking oil nonetheless

I once had a similar problem (on a GS500), I mounted the left carb on the right cilinder and the right carb hanging in the air. It fired up on the right cilinder only. This ruled out ignition/compression issues so I knew the carb was the problem.

Round, black ones. rtfr

Why would you want to remove the fairing? Just sell the bike and buy a proper oldskool Suzuki.
