750 to 1100 wiring

[alboo]

Hi this is my first request (every other problem i have been able to sort from other peoples posts) so if i explain that i have had a 1982 katana 750 for some time and been quite happy with it BUT people keep saying stick a 1100 into it and due to work commitments have had no time free to fit this 1100f motor i acquired some time ago but now i have and have started. the 1100 motor is on my bench the katana is half striped and i have come across a puzzle that your site does not have an immediate answer  for what wires go were from the katana loom to the 1100 motor and from the motor to the loom ( I have searched and better searched but no joy, so please can any one put up a simple what goes were and which parts do i require i have sorted mountin plated from grumpy 1260 so that side is covered.regards Alboo

Hi and welcome.

If your motor is oilcooled (as in GSX1100F) then it's easiest to use a complete wire loom from a GSX-R750 Slingshot ('88-'91) or an early Bandit. The 1100F cdi and engine-related stuff plugs straight in.

Hi captain i do have the relevant harness and the cdi from the 1100 i was hoping their was a not so electric involvement and i could retain the katana harness and just use a part of the harness  or go to bed and the fairies will have completed it for me sorry nerves got the best of me.

Welcome to OSS, alboo.

If you have the schematics for both the 750 and the 1100,  you can sort out what is different and what you can keep.

thanks for the welcome  and yes i have the wiring drawings for both bikes and that was my intention but being a out and out cowered i was hoping some one on a white horse would rescue me ,also was any one tried the 750 carbs on the 1100 i have a set that have just been ultrasonically cleaned and look to be  the same size physically and i know the jetting will be wrong but if it only means losing a bit off power thats fine
