    1982 GS750T Front Fork Mystery...

    Finally... ...This arrived. And it's a perfect fit. Lord only knows how Suzy ended up with the wrong fork bottom. But who cares? Because now she has the right one. It's 'new old stock', which means it's in excellent condition and looks very nice and shiny. Shame the other fork looks 43...

    Great spot. Bought it. Shame the postage is almost as much as the part LOL. Still, I'm much happier doing it this way. Thanks David

    1982 GS750T Front Fork Mystery...

    I didn't want to do it, but I don't feel I have much option. I'm going to put the fork together the way it came apart - without the 'anti friction' metal bushing on the end of the stanchion. New fork oil, new o-rings and new oil seals and see what Suzy handles like. If it's bad, I guess I'll...

    1982 GS750T Front Fork Mystery...

    Dang... ...That is really generous of you. But having measured the diameter of my stanchions, they're 35mm. So I guess that's not going to work. But thank you again for your very generous offer. After a few days of trawling the Internet, I think I'm going to have to take the 'anti-friction...

    1982 GS750T Front Fork Mystery...

    Thanks Rich, I don't recall it leaking, but I do recall the front suspension being pretty terrible. Perhaps with new oil, seals, and O-rings that'll improve? Hmm. Does anyone know if the 750T used the same front suspension as a European model? Looking at the Suzuki GS750E/T supplementary...

    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...

    Here's a video of the wires going into the connector that connects to my fuse box... I just noticed, I have two cables going into the orange/green slot. Huh?

    Good point Rich, Tomorrow, I'll get a picture of the wires going into the connector that goes into my fuse box. I'd do it now, but it's way past my bedtime =)

    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...

    Finally... ...Here's a video of me tracing the wires that were attached to the positive battery post. Hope it helps to shed light on the next steps for fitting the SH775 R/R =) Many thanks Marcus

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

    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...

    Hi Guys, As requested... ...Here's a picture including the fuse block with its cover off. I've also included a YouTube video shot on my phone that might (or might not) help. Looking forward to your feedback =) Thanks again.

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

    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...
