750 TSCC Rebuild or Replace?

[GSXR7ED]

That would explain why they are needed... the “L” has a peanut shaped tank that exposes the neck more so.

They're on the frame parts fiche for the "T", and that frame is different from the "L". Just a curiosity, is all. Things that make you go Didn't mean to derail my own thread.

We learn from these experiences with our GS’.

No “Target Fixation” for you, Rich!

Back to work. Rear turn signals with new grounds and wires sorted.

Smooth move, Exlax!

taking the rear wheel apart to clean, I managed to break the nub off of one of the rubber wedges. Would this be a problem if I put it back this way? Suzuki calls it a SHOCK ABSORBER, REAR DRUM. $7.84 for 1 or all 6? PO typically will show how many are required of a part. This shows quantity of 1.

If I order and get just one, will replacing just one have any adverse effects? If I order and get all 6, that’s fine but seems an unlikely price for all 6.

your collective knowledge is appreciated.

Not sure about the pricing, but it would be fine to replace just one. Over here that would be called a cush drive - it takes up the shock when the sprocket carrier engages the rear wheel.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Thank you. I’ll order it tonight. I’m still a few weeks from getting the engine back together so it’s really not a delay. Was just hoping to get the back wheel on tonight so I could sit on the bike and make vroom-vroom noises.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

For anyone else, like me, who may have been completely ignorant of what the cush drive is, or does, here's a short video explanation. STONG LANGUAGE, but informative.

I replaced a set a year or two in and have had the same set since. Its a hell of a part used in practically all suzuki bikes up to Hayabusa same part same strength durability etc.

There are aftermarket ones made that the Hayabusa guys see, to like. Red polyurethane

All that little rubber tit does is hold the cushion in place during assembly. Almost useless cause when the driven hub is put in, the rubber cushions can't get out of place until hub is taken off again. Yeah, for $6 replace it, but if you don't, you'll never know the difference.

Kind of what I figured. Like, where's it gonna go? But, I did order it. Still waiting on my pistons/rings, base gasket, and breather gasket. Can't put the engine back together yet without those so..... I think tonight I'll look harder for a wire that's only on with the ignition in the headlamp bucket that gives me close to the battery voltage on which to connect my digital volt meter. I had it wired to the accessory screw terminals back on the fuse block, but that's always on. I want to not have to use the switch on the voltmeter and have to remember to turn it off. I've got a good wiring diagram, so I should be OK. But, if anyone's got good advice on that topic, I'm all ears. I'd rather not install a relay.

[rphillips]

Relays are for things that draw a lot of current, ie. headlight or starter motor. Something as lite as a volt meter, your "82" model should have front running lights, just wire into one of the leads for them. Don't even think a larger fuse, all be good just wire it in. Just my opinion.
