Captain Chaos

there's your answer

And then after that add some weight again in the shape of a turbo.

if it charges the battery when running and does not drain it when off, it should be ok.

Hi. Introduce yourself in General Discussions, and don't forget to RTFR. Anything fits with a big enough hammer by the way.

the 750 cases are a matching pair? They are line bored in the factory, you can not replace just one case. They are a pair.

Teapot. Not a Katana. RTFR.

Cut the wires to the bulb. i'll get me coat

fixed

No and yes and welcome on OSS

I've edited the other post since it contains the answer already.

first thing I noticed when I replaced my stock Slingy 1100 exhaust for a Termignoni 4-2-1, was how stiff the suspension had suddenly become. Weight saving is enormous.

Result!

I'm not too sure. If you look at where the rear most bolt is (the one closest to the speedo sensor) you can see that it's on the edge of the B12 cover. Should fit. Gear lever is easy, I drilled a hole in my B12 cover and mounted it.

did you not notice that the needle was missing?

The 400E is a twin and not an inline four if i remember correctly. Not really OSS material. It does not really matter which way you mount the battery (as long as it's not upside down of course), important is that the red wire goes on the + terminal and black goes on - .

buy and read the fucking manual.

But first remove the clutch as said to be sure it's not the gearbox which is blocked. In that case a complete engine stripdown is not necessary (although it would be wise if it's an unknown engine), the crankcases can be split with the top end in place. edit - Dezza beat me to it

on an inline four there are always some valves open, whichever position the crankshaft is in. So this does not matter. Just remove the camchain tensioner and unscrew the cam caps evenly and it will be ok.

Looks like a baboon arse teapot (1998 and up) engine and carbs. 749cc, originally silver colour. Could also be an Inazuma engine which is the same but black from the factory.

What bike?

As 1460 said, it should turn very easy, with no resistance. This could be your problem.

I mean just insert the shaft in the hole and try if it turns, without engaging gears etc. To see if it turns without resistance.

and one more thing, newer GSX-R's (SRAD notably) are famous for gearshift troubles. Which can all be traced back to the gearshift lever and linkage which are never cleaned and lubricated by the owners. Is your lever mounted straight on the gearshift shaft? If not, is the linkage clean and free moving?
