Blubber Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Good result. Was the project easier than you thought? Quote Link to comment
cheese monkey Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 No it went pretty much as expected. Not hard, but not easy. These things always take longer than you think and there are always little niggles to sort out on the way. Having the whole bike to nick bits off made life a lot easier. In summary for anyone thinking about doing one (its nice to have all the info in one place) Tank needs to go up on the rear mounts by 10mm. Bottom rear engine mount on the frame needs drilling out to 12mm. Use the 1200 engine, carbs, exhaust and clutch lever. GSX airbox can be expanded out (carefully) to take the 1200 airbox rubbers Main fuel line for 1200 carbs is 10mm, GSX is 8mm, so either clamp it real tight on the tap outlet, or put an adaptor in. Coils do fit on original mounts (apparently) 1200 oil cooler fits, but I couldnt quite get it lined up on both holes on the frame. I expect it would with a bit more wiggling, or I may just drill another hole for it. If using a Mk2 engine swap the neutral sensor, pickup/oil sensor and bin the PAIR system 750 CDI works fine 1 Quote Link to comment

On the other hand I quite enjoy the electrics, what’s up with it? Sounds like you are pretty close though if that’s all it needs Edited March 8, 2019 by cheese monkey Quote Link to comment
cheese monkey Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Got 12months MOT on it now, took it for a spin, a few rattles under the tank somewhere but I recon I might have forgotten to take the coil mounting bolts and spacers out so I bet its the spacers rattling on the bolts. Low range power is a bit flat but midrange is strong. There is tiny miss very occasionally when cruising but with ear plugs in you would never notice. Main thing is there are no leaks and nothing has fallen off! 1 Quote Link to comment

What’s up with your clocks? Quote Link to comment
1100fred Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Think there’s a break in the sub loom to clocks got idiot lights worked and no power to anything else went went through it the other week and got it sorted or so I thought look like multi meter Sunday again Quote Link to comment

cheese monkey Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Gremlins... Give her a good thrash and kill them! Quote Link to comment
1100fred Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 There’s always a few few gremlins to chase when you get near the end of a build Quote Link to comment
Shill Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 How's it running after a couple of weeks dude? Quote Link to comment
cheese monkey Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Got about 1000 miles done. Maxed it this morning which was fun! Motor does not like running cold without enough choke. Spits and knocks a bit. However with choke it runs well and when warm its decent. I'm not overly concerned, recon the valve clearances could do with checking at some point this summer. No major issues, all is good! Quote Link to comment
cheese monkey Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well I should say I nearly maxed it, was worried the 750 speedo might break Quote Link to comment
