Its an 'arris F1 ........Just thought is this a project ort rick frame??? perhaps the Mods will decide and move me???
Sweet find looks a sound base once a proper motor is in. Seat unit needs to go in favour of something more period. If going with spokey wheels why not go with some RWU forks?

What frame and tank is that?!

Following with interest

Hi Ads:
I had a similar issue with a Wiseco GSX 1178.
The starter got slower & slower until it just wouldn't start. I got it a new battery, solenoid, cleaned everything. Nothing.
In the end I stripped the starter & it turned out the carbon brushes had worn out. It was 20 years old.
I replaced them with Suzuki originals {I remember thinking they were quite reasonable at the time, about 20 quid or so, not too bad even back then}.
I cleaned out the commutator thing, greened the bearing & put it back together.
It worked a treat. It was like a new one.
This is exactly what's happened. Could it be due to the high comp big bore requiring more from the starter to spin it up and over time it's just given up? That's what my money is on.

I will try the additional earth to frame. Haven't got one no. Have earth direct from cases to -ve on battery.
so just run a suitable cable from a mount bolt to anywhere on frame?
-
Did that CC, no joy.
Took a direct feed from battery live to solenoid output, no joy.
direct feed from battery live to starter motor connection, no joy.
I'll try new HD wires and also check for good earth to crankcases but if not I've got a spare starter so will change that.

Fecking thing!! Took the Harris Gsxr 1216 for an mot today (passed no advisories btw) but when starting before I went the starter motor was a bit wheezy and reluctant to go not like the normal fast spin it normally is. Now my bike has been sat for a while (5months) but it's been on the optimate all that time so the battery should be good. Wouldn't start at the mot station, jumped it and it fired straight away. Got home and put it back on optimate and checked an hour later and nothing, only clicking at starter solenoid.
So me thinking it's the battery I put on another known good battery and same thing only clicking at solenoid aaaargh!! Swapped solenoid for another and again, same thing with new solenoid!! Ffs.....
Checked fuses, have 12v at battery, different solenoid... Nothing.
Is my starter motor fucked? Help!

I like them when they have been sorted to use what you can make the motor give, early 80's AMA style. Mine is similar but with 6 pot AP's, mini harris rear and PVM wheels. Lightened but looking stock at first glance.
Would also very much love to see pics of this!

That exhaust system is sweet

Very nice catch. Still some gems out there!

Foz, I know what you mean on the "heavy throttle". I converted my RS38s to a side pull and when I did, I ditched the second return spring, and put the first one on the least preload peg. Works just fine on the street
How did you convert to side pull?

38's looking favourable
But FCRs do look well trick....

Cheers for that. The FCRs I have (above) are set up for oil cooled spacing, just trying to see what would complement the motor
-
Not sure what's going on with the black lines
-
Have been reading up a lot on this however still a lot of conflicting info out there.
Which flatslides would complement a bandit 1216 motor the best? The motor spec is big cc stage 3, wiseco 1216, Kent stage 2 cams. Currently running standard carbs with stage 3 dynojet.
Ive got an option of FCR41, RS38 or RS40.
Would the FCR's be too much for fast road and be more suited to track? RS40's be too big?
Any help and personal experience would be much appreciated. Cheers.
