G'day, Ive recently bought an F model and it needs a lot of tlc to get it running again. I was told the carbys need re-kitted, are the kits readily available? It hasnt been started for a number of years, so I'd like some info with whats needed to get the beast going. I usually ride a blue colour and familiar with bike mechanics.

Cheers.

Welcome to oss,

good bottom end torque motors the gsx1100f, very similar to the gsxr1100 motors but with 34mm carbs and softer more bottom end cams, a lot of the gsxr bits will fit the gsxr motors carb,cams, zorst downpipes etc. You can get carb refurbishment kits off flybay or give rodinson a bell for the better oem seals and you get 10% off with them, when you tell them your a oss member ;)

Welcome aboard ! 

I would give the old girl a good going through  before starting - oil, filter, plugs, valve clearances and check the carbs' small orifices are clear and give them a good clean.

It sounds like the bike has pod filters fitted if the last owner said it might need a kit - that or the carbs were just playing misbehaving !

Like the guys have said, the GSX1100F motor is a lovely unit and the world's your mollusc as far as enhancements go.

Also I need an new fuel tap, the seals have dried out in the vacuum unit. Is it wise to change it to a non-vacuum unit and where can I buy it from? Fleabay is the option I have as Im a bit too far from the UK..
