    Pilot Air Jet P/N 0949334001 - Need One!

    Thanks buddy, I'm pretty sure it is a Mikuni B42/55 I'm after. I looked at "Allen's Performance" website, they have them, but only up to size 100. I've contacted them to see if they can get size 170. Of course, if I was in the USA, it'd be a piece of cake. But, I really don't want to pay...

    Do I always have to use OEM parts?

    Thanks to: This marvellous forum And to Ed Ness for his incredibly useful CV Carburettor Rebuild Tutorial PDF... ...My carbs are stipped down, nearly clean and I'm in the process of replacing parts that need replacing. Shout out to Nessim for his O-Ring kits and Zed1015 for his choke plunger...

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    Finally, I've got all the parts to complete the oil change. All went well until I realised I'd got the wrong oversized sump plug from the USA. I'd ordered an M14 X 1.5, but I should have got M14 X 1.25. I'm sure I've read somewhere that using the wrong thread pitch is a bad idea <-- Is this...

    Thanks, everyone. I went for one of these in the end: Dorman 65217 Oil Drain Plug Oversize M14-1.50 S.O., Head Size 18Mm ​Should be here in time for Christmas =)

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    This is turning into the worst oil change I've ever done... ...I'm guessing the drain plug isn't supposed to look like this LOL. I took a look at the drain hole in the engine oil sump pan and it doesn't look good. Having used the search function here at the GSR forum, it seems my options...

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    Whilst waiting for Suzy's bits to arrive I thought I'd make a start on removing the old engine paint. Starting with this: I'm hoping some experienced person will save me hours of searching the Internet and recommend a good product for speeding up the removal of old paint off a motorcycle...

    Thanks KiwiAlfa156, I was wondering how best to put the studs in without damaging the threads. This clears it up for me. Another problem solved =)

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    Thanks, you just saved me from ordering 2 of the wrong studs. I hadn't noticed (until you pointed it out) that the top two are different. Thanks for that =) Order has been placed with CMSNL over in the Netherlands. For anyone else in Europe they seem to have quite a catalogue of parts. Just...

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    Three days it's taken me to get the engine oil cover off. Finally worked out one of the studs had rusted and swollen up making it impossible to slip the cover off. I ended up using vice-grips to extract the stud. I got lucky... ...It didn't snap =) Just gotta find a new/replacement cover...

    1982 Suzuki GS750T - Project

    Today, I thought I'd change the oil. Grabbed the manual Read the steps Removed the oil filler cap Removed the drain plug Removed the oil pressure cover Disconnected the oil pressure cable Undid the 5 nuts holding the oil filter cover in place And that's where I hit a brick wall. I can't get...

    Well, after much procrastination, I've finally plucked up the courage to get Suzy back on the road. This is the first motorcycle project I've ever worked on. I bought her from a gentleman who rented one of the garages opposite my house. He told me she'd been sitting for 3 years, but he had...

    Hello From The UK - GS750T

    Yeah. Learning. It's starting to dawn on me that what I thought was going to be a walk in the park, is actually me standing at the bottom of Mount Everest in my underpants. I'm going to take a deep dive into the ocean of material available here. I may be gone some time LOL.

    Hello From The UK - GS750T

    Of course =) Thanks for the tip about the GS750 16 valve info. I didn't know that. Does it run yet? No. When I turn the ignition key, there are no lights, no sounds, nothing. The first order of business seems to be a new battery. What battery should I buy? An answer to that question will...

    Hello From The UK - GS750T

    Just acquired an imported 1982 GS750T. I love it, it looks like a motorcycle should look. And... ...It's been stood for 4 years. So I have a feeling I'll be making extensive use of the 'Search' feature here on the forum =) I could also write what I know about motorcycle mechanics on the...
