Dynojet kits work ok in the standard carbs. Think from memory I had the DJ134 mains fitted with the needles lifted one slot from the middle with a little 'half a notch' shim underneath. Although different setups and bit of tweaking involved for different engines but might get you on the right path. Slides drilled also using drill bit supplied in kit. Ensure base settings are good to start with including a good fat spark on all cylinders, carbs correctly balanced etc etc. When fettling, change one thing at a time so as not to get lost and you should get it going well. Good quality filters make life easier.
Cheers. T

Agree with no class. They should pop on ok with a bit of jiggling. Got a set on my 1100et ok.

RF900 quite similar to Bandit wheel. Although, I have an rf900 arm with bandit 12 wheel in my ET.

Yo! you can get away with a 180 in the standard swinger but its tight. If you go 520 on your chain and sprockets, use a gs550 sprocket carrier or machine your existing one. Along with an offset front sprocket-or weld one up or have it sorted for you its doable. Just to bare in mind the choice of tyre though. Not all 180's measure true to 180 across tyre manufacturers. I came unstuck when switching manufacturers and had tyre rubbage on chain...Did I mention it can be tight...Alternatively stick with the 160 on 5.5 rim?

Bandit stem into et frame-you can use the stem/yokes from the bandit but requires shortening by 25mm as longer than the et setup. you've got 5mm to play with. Could be a straight swap if you can take up the 5mm with a spacer? Job done. Bearings are the same from memory...Was seven years or so ago when I popped a set of B12 forks in mine so casting my mind back... ET stems are welded into the yokes so requires chopping about. Or at least my 750 ones were. B12's just press out.

Agree with what minx said. Before you start messing about with carb settings, ensure your eleccy system is delivering the goods though. Nice fat blue sparks on all cylinders, adjust one thing at a time with the carbs and go from there. Make a note of the changes you are making between runs and what the plugs look like after each run etc. The BST36 carbs are quite easy to set up to get you in the ball park before final tuning via dyno run. Ensure carbs/filters are sealed correctly before anything else as air leaks will play havoc with any adjustments. I have them on my 1100et and they transform the throttle response immensely over standard carbs. The K&n dual pods seem to work best with these carbs on the GSX range. Can't remember jet sizing off the top of my head as completed swap few years ago. I didn't need to change pilot jet size, just had to increase main jets and mess around with needle height a little. I may have the settings written down somewhere still. Will have a rummage. You can use standard throttle cable also. Just need to click it on the second position on the throttle twist grip.

They look good for the monies but there's a bit of science involved in their construction for optimum performance surely. Do these perform as well as the well known manufacturers? Possibly not. But they do look good.
-
An option for later calipers could be nissin four pots from bandit etc but you would need to make or have some adaptor plates made up. Early gsxr calipers might also be worth a look. Anything can be made to fit anything, depends what you require in terms of keeping it looking as close to standard as possible. Same again with the rear brake. Torque arm may require modifying or use the lock-in swingarm type and modify the swinger to accommodate. There's lots of possibilities out there. Someone will be along I'm sure who has carried out the same conversion.
-
Do you wish to swap the whole front end including yokes or just the fork tubes? Later models being of the same range? May I ask the reason for switching out the forks for later models? Could you not just replace like for like?
-
Hello. Nice looking ET you have there. Enjoy, they're great
-
Cheers Fazz

Cheers Wraith. few tweaks scince this was taken though. Better carbs, and finally replaced the extra long front brake lines that were way too long and looked shite...Currently gathering bits for a new build engine/project. Is there still a for sale/wanted section on the site? Cheers, T.

The whole front end is b12. The stem length needed shortening by 2.5cm if I remember correctly as was longer than the GSX stem. The stem pops out of the yokes nicely with a press.
They work quite well, haven't had any quarms with them. They were very stiff when first fitted them but removal of some of the fork oil helped. Might want to mess with spring rates but I didn't bother. They are shorter than the stock ET ones though so make the bike sit a little lower even with the top of fork legs flush with the top yoke but if you wanted you could add extensions.

Yes, Yoshi it is. Got an RF900 swinger in it with bandit wheel too.

Finally dug the ET out again this week as has sadly had little use recently. There's been nothing wrong with it, always good to go just me being slack really which is very shameful. However, I'm in love again and can't stop riding it, any excuse to go for a blat. Was rooting though my GSX spares and decided it might be time to build another one...Watch this space

Yo!
Recently purchased a GSX 750F of 2000 Birth from my manager at work for the princely sum of 100 queen sheets.
Bike had been laid up for four years in an alley way and was covered in moss/algae. Done the usual service etc and got it running and passed its MOT with no issues.
Had a blat to the coast which was the first, long ride I had taken it for (the most distance covered was three miles to MOT station).
What an ugly pile of gutless poo. Not impressed at all, what was Suzuki thinking? Fair enough its smooth, and the handling is pretty good, effortless to ride and can chuck it about pretty well.
This thing just lacks any grunt. Its the most uncomfortable riding position-neither here or there and my arse was completely pummeled by the end of the day, my shoulders and neck were mullered too and I have built and ridden bikes with just a steel plate for a seat without experiencing anything like this.
Anyone have much experience with these? No disrespect to those that like em', It's just clearly not my thing. Am I missing something here?
Rant over

Went for a Blat today for the first time since September. Been driving around in a slow crappy van for months. Forgot how well these old brutes fly. Ive fallen in love again

GSX1100 ES with Dynojet stage 3 ?
in Air Cooled
Posted
Ill have a rummage through me carb bits tomorrow. May just have the bits you require. All dynojet kits consist of is a selection of main jets. 4 sizes for different applications. Airbox on pods etc the slide drill along with main air jets and the dynojet needles which are tapered. I think I pretty much have the kit spare in a box somewhere. If its all there you can have it as I now have GSXR carbs on mine. Needles are the main bit required from the dynojet kit to be honest. The rest is trial and error. They can be setup just on the stock needles and bigger mains however. Ill get back to you tomorrow or later this eve if any use?
Cheers,
T
