I also have a Mk 1 bandit with carb issues. I managed to ride it home gently just short shifting the torque, but it wont pull at all, just bogs down. Tried gently rolling past it to see if it comes back but nope. It has twin K&N open filters and delivic system. Apparently previous owner sent it to a local shop who cleaned the carbs, but didnt nothing more. He told me they looked OK and opened and closed cleanly. Im guessing stage 3 jets needed, but want to go through and replace everything especially emulsion tubes. Can anyone recommend a rebuild good kit? None seem to be branded so I dont know if they chinesium or ok. Gonna be a learning experience but got a mate whose more patient and we have youtube! (by next week the earth will be flat and well all be zapped by 5G covid rays) Other question, K&N twin pods, or return to the air box?. I have the box and it seams like the K&N's may just be a PITA, especially if I ever ride it away and hit rain. Whats you thoughts?

Its a GSXR 750j dot head. Best cams and head in one.

Hey all, Was thinking at silly oclock this morning. I may have the opportunity to get hold of a B12 motor. I already have a 750j dot head motor. I believe sticking the dot 750 head on the B12 gives increased compression, wilder cams, better carbs etc and have heard if well set up makes 140HP with a shed load of grunt. This is all covered elsewhere and I'll research if and when I get the right component parts together. SO, then the tightwad in me says what about the 750j barrels and 6 speed box and the B12 head? Loads of these must have been wasted in the past in the quest for a dot head B12 so I was thinking, surely this would give me a low compression 750 with very mild timing, so would run forever but wouldn't pull the skin off custard. BUT surely that would make it an ideal motor for forced induction? In these days of lower budget builds than the great day of your, where 750's are used rather than being weighed in or dropped as boat anchors, surely a little turbo on a low compression 750 might make something quite silly?

err.........standard brakes!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEKKKKK. Fair play, period correct shit stained pants! Lovely job as always mate.
