I have looked High and Low for such a manual over the last 7 years, and never found one. One would think these bikes don't exist...

And even the after market manuals isn't exactly "T" specific. Hell the one I have says it's for 750-1100T models. They never made an 1100, so I made my own...

If you DO find one post the details here for others to utilize please.

There is one posted on this site...it belongs to Yasser. I downloaded a copy of it...I forgot the path to it.

I'm out and about now and not on my laptop. Maybe yasser will come along...

First of all Tank I can't believe how cool it is to have a z and a d in reverse paint patterns. It would be fun to see them staged in a manner to be the bike(s) of the month.


If someone is looking for a shop book, the best I can come up with is on Cliff's site. The T is such an odd bike. I copied the shop book in haste but it should get you there by component or system http://www.mtsac.edu/~cliff/storage/gs/GS750_16valve.pdf my manual is there also.

Oh and hi ed.

Service Manual

^^What's up yasser?

I think I got the manuals mixed up. The Owner's Manual is what I have...not the Service Manual. The only one available is from the link yasser provided at BikeCliff's Website: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

It's a 750 and 16V Service Manual but it covers most everything on the "T".

Another week of hotels. The grass is real green here near St Louis, Got me thinking about the t and here we are. Mine is not running well for the first time. I forget the symptoms but it was odd. I put it under cover last fall and never unwrapped it. Stay tuned.

Now contemplating a move so the t is still secondary. It will be a glorious day running it in new northern wi roads. For now the old Hondas will have to do and they are darn good at that, particularly chasing my sons.

Hey Spyder,

Did you ever get your sequence number?


Ed
 
Of course not... That would be too close of a resemblance to a memory...

I will eventually...

Okay, I'm bummin' now.

My "T" is at home in Delaware while I'm in northern Florida doing this contractor job.:eek:

In the meantime, I'm buying a surfboard for my birthday this month.

Big changes coming up after summer.

Who else is going to report their "T's" escapades?

Ed
 
Hey Jedz,

I miss her dearly....trust me. I wish I could go back on the road to Holloman. MrBill would get tired of seeing me but not my "T".

Thanks for the compliment.

Ed
 
Hi Fellow T's. So I think I have sourced a 1982 1100 motor and carbs for my potential 1100T. I have followed Spyder's build on his 1100T. My questions to you guys and Spyder:
Were you able to use your 750 carbs?
If you used 1100 carbs were you able to use the 750 airbox? If so did you have to change jets?
Beyond to one obvious engine mount not aligning any other issues to be aware of?

Derek
 
I believe the airboxes are the same. I needed one for my spare T since it was missing.

As for the main jets, if you're installing new pipes, I'd go with 117 main jets...that's what I bought for mine.

Not sure about using the 750 carb on 1100. I would say no.

Ed
 
Thanks for the info Ed. Going to go with Mikuni BS34s..... I am going to keep the stock exhaust from the 750. So I'm certainly thinking I might need to tweak jets. Temp set up until I save more $. Lol
I actually enjoy working on these carbs. Dip and new O-rings are a prerequisite

A fellow member on the GSR is helping a brother out on a 1100 runner.

Welp, I haven't checked into this thread in a while, so here goes. Yes you can use the 32mm carbs from the 750 on the 1100 engine (I am right now) It wasn't exactly on purpose but I ordered intake boots for the '83 750 T instead of the 1100, I know, DUH... Anyway they work just fine. Would the 34's work better? Of course, and next spring they should be done and running on my bike...

The air box will work, but you will need the boots from an 1100 box. Other than the bottom mounts not lining up it's a straight bolt in process. It's been er, um, 3 or 4 years since I have done it, and I am NEVER nice to her and that engine doesn't move.

My seat seems to have the same stock shape, so I would say someone did a great job of recovering it. I've had the bike for 8 years now and the seat still looks new... other than all of that, I can't think of any other bumps I hit along my build. I did drop my rear sprocket down a tooth or 2 (can't remember right this minute) think I went from a 42 down to a 40 (41?) and it will still float the front tire through 4th gear. She's a beast.

Good luck with yours, keep us posted...
