    1982 GS750T Front Fork Mystery...

    Fixing the front brake on Suzy (my 1982 GS750T) revealed just how awful her front suspension was. Taking it apart, I noticed the right stanchion/inner tube didn't have the 'anti-friction metal' bush on it. Putting everything back together today, I discovered why. The inner tube will not fit...

    Adjusting Idle Mixture on CV carbs...

    It's really good as it enabled me to interpret the results I was getting in a way that made sense. One thing I didn't realise at first was you can adjust the air/fuel screws in one go. I did one and a half turns - fail. Turned it off, waited an hour. Then one and three quarter turns - fail...

    1982 GS750T - R/R Connector Help Required...

    Ah, I see. I hadn't understood that the power went through the fuse box (eventually). So a 15Amp fuse in the Main slot 'should' take care of it. Got some time off work coming up soon, and I'm looking forward to investing it in putting Suzy back together and seeing if she'll start. I'll keep...

    Hi Jim, Thanks for your reply. 1. The white connector connected directly to the old SH555 R/R. No extra wires. 2. I don't know if the bike ran and charged with the PO wiring mods, the guy I bought it from didn't make those mods and bought it as a project. How much of a project I don't know...

    Thanks Rich. The 'T' was a USA only bike, mine was imported a long time ago. At least I know what I'm doing with the three yellows and the black. Just got those pesky reds to sort out. Alternatively, I can always assume the PO knew what they were doing and simply get a new 6-pin connector...

    Sorry. I'm looking at the wires I've got and trying to work out how they wire up to the SH775. I'm using the SH775 Install graphic as my guide. I've filtered through the last 10 pages of this section looking for an answer to my question, and I'm clearly too inexperienced to work it out. So...

    Well, this just arrived... All I can say for sure is the SH775 is considerably larger than the SH555, gonna be fun fitting it in. Though I know there are threads on this marvelous forum sharing how others have worked around this. Thanks everyone for your help and support =)

    So the SH555-12 is not good? Looking on eBay for a SH775 (Used) cost is ?187! I was reading the Stator Papers P02 and the author mentions his Electrex R/R. A quick Google search reveals Electrex is in the UK and --> This <-- for ?80 should fit my 1982 GS750T Has anyone used an Electrex R/R?

    I had a look on the Rectifier/Regulator replacement list post. And the SH555-12 is listed in black as Kawasaki GVZ 600R Shindengen SH555-12 6.12 12amps with 6 pins I'm guessing. Though I've never heard of a Kawasaki GVZ (GPZ?) Does anyone know if this R/R is going to last? Or should I...

    Hello there, I've finished off Suzy's back end for now: New rear tire, chain, sprockets, fixings, rust removal, repaint, and so on. Now, it's time to reconnect the engine to the various electrical wires and cables I disconnected it from to remove it from the frame. Anyway... ...It's time to...
