200 km is quite good

for replacing a drive shaft seal yes. But for the shift shaft seal the cases do not need parting. Remove the clutch, pull out the shaft and the seal can be popped out from the inside. I have replaced many seals using self tappers and it works fine.

in other words, find yourself a B6 / Teapot engine.

I spent my childhood in Caen (14)

may I ask why number 68 on your bike? Do you live in Haut-Rhin?

next time try to integrate canbus to make it even more interesting.

yes.

too bad, I remember MIG were good exhausts. Interesting project you have there.

Hi and welcome to OSS Yann. Didn't MIG go tits up some 10 years ago? http://www.moto-net.com/actualites-motos-458-Business-DOMMAGES-COLLAT%C3%89RAUX-MIG-met-la-cle-sous-la-porte.html

haven't done it myself on an oilcooled engine (yet) but I'd guess you should take care not to push 26 too far in because it could disengage from 6 or the spring 27 could unhook from 28.

Yes. No.

the GSX550 was produced from 1983 till 1987, mostly unchanged as far as I know. There was also a 500cc version.

those carbs are a royal pain in the ass. And even worse is that nothing else fits on those GSX550 engines. But when they run they are quite good.

+1 After swapping most of the sparky bits the problem is still here. Carbs seem to be the only constant factor, rule them out.

pics would help.

pics would help. N means 500 - 599cc, 7 means 4 cil. 4 stroke, 02 means second evolution.

the WC engine is smaller than the OC one. Only problem might be the radiator which is quite big.

IMO it looked better before but it's your bike

No. You mentioned fuel leaking from under the carbs in your first post. Could be float needles on carbs 1 & 4 leaking, and overfueling those cilinders.

instead of trying to make the aircooled lump perform better, it would be cheaper to just get an oilcooled engine and fit that. You say they are hard to find in Sweden so try looking abroad, Finland for example.

ah yes... didn't know they are h*ndas. So post a pic of you on your Suzuki FZ50 please.

are there any pics of this?

try www.motorcyclespareparts.eu It's like alphasports but european

you're what? The suspense is killing me!

very unlikely
