My '93 GSXR 750 WP Build (what have I started???)

[kartras]

Ok so no post in a while.......

Been relocating the battery in between the frame and making an under tray for the subframe. Tail tidy arrived from the ole US of A and a few other bits and bobs coming.

Piccys to come when I get a few mins

[NINJAINOZ]

Which tail tidy did you end up going with?

[kartras]

Which tail tidy did you end up going with?

I am using the 03/04 zx6r unit with tail tidy with led's i'll post some piccys soon....sold the monster seat and cowl .
I think I know the direction i am going in for the moment.
it may all change again.....

By the way I got my LSL/Mt03 type unit from italy I got mine including postage for around $100 me thinx I would have to check to see if I can remember the seller on e bay.. if you are interested.

[NINJAINOZ]

Was the tail tidy from the US seller I linked or?

I dont mind the headlight setup ( MT03 / LSL ) but they are getting way overdone + I just upgraded my dirtbike polisport MMX headlight with an Hi/Lo LED cree bulb that dropped straight in & made it way brighter

Some pics please......

[kartras]

anyone know where I can get some Inspiration to continue the build.

Been searching the ole Interweb for months now and cant seem to find any....
Where do you boys buy yours??

Fuck I need some cash and time in the shed... ....
Better get her back on the road soon. I really want to be riding her for her 21st birthday celebrations

[NINJAINOZ]

What have you got left to do? Make a list, It will either scare you or keep you going as you cross them off, Keep the list on the fridge?

Inspiration, I know what you mean though I only have a few things left to do on my ZXR but I hate cold weather & going in the shed at night is not going to happen, I generally dont get much time during the day even though I am on call with my work
Having plenty of money to spend on it would be a great inspiration but everyday bills fix that

Should be something inspiring in this link?>

[kartras]

Thanx ninjainoz,

the dreaded list is the go........paper and pen out and start scribbling.
If the feckin list gets too long I may just throw the towel in.

Some fuckin sweet gixxer units in that link....drooooool.......

wheres me hammer I'm off to the shed

[NINJAINOZ]

With very little time due to work or family or other projects I try to get one thing a week done but even that can be hard sometimes

A big whiteboard in the shed would be good too, You couldnt lose it & it would be easy to see/read whever you go in the shed

What are some of the main things you need to tackle?

yeah mate I get ya.. Family and work/oncall have all my time at the mo been a feckin hectic last eight months with some family dramas...but hopefully they are nearly sorted now for the moment.

I may get an hour to myself tonight so pen and paper...... and the list will be drawn up

Like most projects I am getting to the end where the big stuff is sorted and all the lil bits will pull it all together.........but it just seems like there is no end to all the lil bits.

This is about where I am at with my build mate, kids, work, other hobbies, family shit all get in the way. My bike is still a way off mainly due to the fact that I seem to keep getting more bits for it..... If I committed myself I could probably have it in a rideable state in a day, I just keep telling myself 'you can't rush these things' hahahaha

[kartras]

Well finally started again. Trying to get the zx6r seat pad to fit snugly up against the gsxr tank.......

Any tips for a 1st time upholsterer on which vinyl is easiest to stretch neatly over the seat???

[Redmohawk]

Drop into a auto upholsterer and buy a bit of what you like , any decent bloke will prob give you a bit for bugger all. Its only around $25 a M for most run of the mill stuff. Forget crap from clothing stores like spotlight , its thinner and generally crap (though stretches easy on fitting). The shape of your seat will allow you to use one piece to cover the lot without sewing/joins.

Material has a weft and wafte (stretches one way alot more than the other) run the stretchy direction accross the seat. A air or electric stapler with 5 or 6mm deep staples or in a pinch a good hand stapler will do the trick but make it a real pain. With the air stapler (if you have one) air pressure just high enough to drive the hammer reliably and hold the stapler at a slight angle (from one side of staple pin to the other) stops staples driving right through vinyl making a mess.

Gental heat from Heat gun/hair dryer can help gettting vinyl around curves without putting to much tension on foam distorting it.
Or send it to Kev and get him to do it for you, I don't do seat work anymore.

Cheers,
Popped into clark rubber they have marine uv stabilised vinyl for bout $23 a meter. I have an electric stapler and a heat gun ready so hopefully will try it during the week. I'll give it a go and if I fuck it up I will go grovelling to Kev. trying to do most sh1t myself and keep the $$$$ for beer.

[Redmohawk]

Trick with one piece stuff is even pressure. Start with the length wise ends just enough tension to keep it all sitting straight, no sags or wrinkels. Dont try to pull it hard enough to sit on the foam as it will just flex the seat foam/base. Then work eather side in the middle faning out in a circular pattern. Keeping tension even as possable a little heat in places that form wrinkels helps a little, spray contact adhesive (I like bostic stuff in a can for little jobs) can make your life real easy, if your uneasy being a first time you can get partial tack adhesive (you can fit it and if its not in the right position pull it off and replace it without wreaking the foam)

Little old ladys use the partial tack stuff for quilting , spotlite or other sewing joints will stock it.

Spray foam and inside of vinyl , let tack off. Then lay vinyl down with a smooth action rolling it on from on end to the other lengthwise, then turn over and put on a clean bench put pressure in centre of seat base and stretch vinyl onto sides. You will still need to stretch to staple but its a good way to get a one piece vinyl on.

Seats upholstered...Kinda happy may do the drivers again..some puckering but not too bad for a virgin

Battery fitted in the frame and bracket to mount solenoid relays etc. Wiring amended to suit.

any ideas on what to use with the stainless bolts to avoid a reaction with the ally?

[kartras]

Anyone got any ideas on what product/compound to use when using stainless steel bolts on aluminium to avoid corrosion/reaction caused between two dissimilar metals?

or will it even be an issue.

Duralac works but is a fuckin messy product

[kartras]

After much procrastination about how to fit the fuse box, black box and operate the pillion seat lock (sorted with the help of an old set of shimano brakes off the pushie) got the sub frame finally fitted and painted . Me thinx the black subbie goes well with the black swinger.

[Gix11]

Nice mate. You'll have it back on the road in no time.

[kartras]

It has been off the road now for over 2 years...fuck knows if its gonna start or not.....might be worth a video of when I try to start it...either a very sad or happy face

[kartras]

Heyo all,


Any ideas/ brainwaves on how to soften up carb boots so I can refit my carbs?

carbs have been off the bike for 1.5 years and now I'm refitting but the boots are fuckin hard as and i reckon it will be a bastard of a job to refit. The boots are in good condition otherwise.


Are there any greases or lubes that may work better or more importantly which ones to avoid?

cheers for now,

Karl

[Gix11]

If you reckon they are in good condition then why not try a heat gun (or hair drier if you don't have one) and warm them slowly? Try it on just one and see how it goes.

Anyone else had success or tried the isopropyl/rubbing alcohol and wintergreen oil to soften carb rubbers???

there seems to be successful results when trawling the net... but i suppose there are also girls in my area waiting for my call tonight................

[Gix11]

Nice work with the bracket mate. Tidy result.

[kartras]

Nice work with the bracket mate. Tidy result.
Worked out well me thinx.I know its been done before but hey i like it. I was going to fit an old skool Acerbis twin mx type unit that I have but changed for the mt03 type which i think suits the lines.

now for refitting these poxy carbs.

[kartras]

With a little force and a spray of silicone in the carbs popped like a finger in a bum

I'm an ideas man.................i just don't always put them into action

[K6Thou]

Lynton was talking about the finger in the bum thing...... He's a bit weird like that.....


I like where your build is heading mate, it's starting to come together well.

and dan go fuck yourself you complained before lol

[K6Thou]

Hahahahaha

[kartras]

Well fitted the carbs ok and started checkin the cable routes When it came to the choke cable the slides were a little sticky and one thing led to another and ended up strippin the carbs All the o rings are fucked as they have been sitting dry for so long. first time stripping the carbs but all went well except for the fucked o rings and choke slides.http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/Carbsdisassembled_zps318e8735.jpg (http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/kartras/media/Carbsdisassembled_zps318e8735.jpg.html)

ordered a new kit from this crowd in Thailand $55 for a full kit..seems ok me thinx. Has anyone had any dealings with them?

Lets hope they get a good report as i have gone ahead and ordered.

http://litetek.co/Carb_Kit_Suzuki_GSXR750_93-95.html

[kartras]

Progress still being made::

carb o rings gaskets etc replaced ...time will tell if the thailand gasket kit is any good

petcock valve needed rebuilding as all seals farked...

fitted bandit throttle cables ...... better/cheeper option than custom made..choke cable inner is 10mm too short...d'oh

made fork spring compressor in work today and stripped the forks tonight ready for new seals and bushings ....trying to get the bushings ordered

dreading doing the electrics...lights ace well unit etc... being a sparky for the last 20years i am in no mood for soldering when i come home........it seems/looks simple but i just can't be fucked/motivated to do it...will do it eventually.

any ideas where to get fork bushings cheep here in QLD???

more pix soon (I am a slacker with the piccys)

[kartras]

Got the acewell unit fitted up....not took sure on the position.....will see when it is ridable .....so nearly time to attack the wiring

a wee bit smaller than stock

[stiffsimon]

Didn't know that GSX-R's were triples! WTF

[kartras]

acewell 2053 info????

got started on wiring the ace well unit. As the gixer switches the negative for oil and Neutral idiot lights i am guessing i have to fit a relay to change to switching the positive so the idiot light operates correctly.

anyone done this before???? or is there another way to get round this???

cheers

[kartras]

Well I aint gone to ground. Still lurking in the shadows. Just had a bit of a sh1t time of it of late and aint getting any time on the bike. Family stuff.

Anyway just thought i would drop a line to say hope you all have a safe and happy christmas .

I hope to be back in the shed in the new year and back picking you brains for suggestions. I was really hoping to have the bike finished this year but i guess best plans and all that.



"Go n-éirí an bóthar leat "

Same to you mate. All the best.

That's nice, good one !

[kartras]

OK gents I know its been a while since you saw any progress on the build..Been a bit of a shocking year or two for getting any time on the spanners let alone posting any sh1t here....been under strict orders to pull me head in and spend some time with the family and at work .... sorry lads but ma lady won that one. Hopefully things are changing and on the up for us in the future.

anyhow somehow managed to get enough brownie points to get some time in the shed to and try to get the ole girl started and so a bit of choke later and the house stinking of fumes and the rumble of the ole girl fills the street,,,,,but as soon as i give it some throttle she stops short and I go limp.


so i am checkin in for some help and i am sure someone here can....

Any idea where hose no 6 or 21 get connected to?? atmosphere? do they need a filter?? me thinx I fucked up

Hopefully I can get a bit of a more steady move now on the build and get some more up to date pickys loaded soon

[kartras]

Here is my most recent picky of late:

http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p504/kartras/IMG_20151214_145123_191-2_zpsnsemgtfe.jpg (http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/kartras/media/IMG_20151214_145123_191-2_zpsnsemgtfe.jpg.html)

Have since fitted the front guard (stock) and finally managed to get the brakes bled up and working had to redo all seals etc

managed to get the fuel leak fixed the carbs but now left with the problem as per previous post.

haven't had her running really long enough to say if i am happy with the note of the new pipe.

I still have a few things to sort with the ace well unit. taco sorted but speed sensor to get sorted and temp to get sorted.

and as for the paint still undecided...ideas on a $100 note and send to.........myself

Fuck i really need to get the escape pod finished this year before i throttle one of my kids.

[K6Thou]

Both my builds have stalled even more than usual lately due to sorting kids mx bikes......

That's what I'm tellling myself anyway.

I've found that even if you get the smallest thing done and ticked off the list it's still counts as forward progress.

[kartras]

Yeah still making some sort of progress albeit slow. Keep tellin myself I'll get there one day.

[kartras]

Ok so hose 6 and 21 just vent to air, thanx doug and Luke via fuckbook, still she and I go limp when I give her some throttle

I had the carbs apart and cleaned, new gaskets etc and I reckon there lies my problems. She starts and idles on choke albeit rough and as soon as I give her some throttle she Stutters to a halt but will then start no probs on choke again.

Stock air box has been removed and running bmc pod filters. I have a factory pro stage2 kit , I may have to think about rejecting to suit. Anyone any tips/experience to share on the matter. I don't know much on how the carbies work and so don't really know where to start with rejetting etc. all help appreciated on this matter.

Any ideas.???I prefer to sort myself if I can b4 paying someone to fix. 2 reasons I like to learn and I'm skint

[Gix11]

Good to see you're still going on her mate, so many give up!

[kartras]

Good to see you're still going on her mate, so many give up!

Yeah still going Si. Unfortunately I don't get much time to spend playing with her. Work/family shit keep getting in the way. So trying to set up the carbs in going to be fun with 5 mins here and there.
Was hoping someone here may have a starting point to go from with jet sizes etc so to make my life a little easier.

At my rate I could be a year or 2 trying to sort the carbs....but I'll get there .....eventually

[K6Thou]

I'll pull the bowls of my carbs and check jet sizes for ya. Mine is running on K&N pods, it's rich but it runs (when it's not otherwise broken). All going well I should get a chance to look at it after work tomorrow.

Cheers mate, appreciated . Any recommendations on where to go for o ring for the carbies.? Think I have the sizes right just need to find a supplier in oz. any info I found on other sites leads to American suppliers...Fuck yeah. And would prefer to spend my cash here in Aus.

[Gix11]

I think I have around 150 mains in mine running twin K&N pods. Anything smaller than that would be too small I reckon. Best to go in rich anyway!

Thanx Si.

I am getting good at taking the carbs in and out. Now I just need to get a pass for a few hours in the shed to make some progress.

[kartras]

Factorypro stage 3 kit fitted.

#147.5 jet , 3rd clip on needle and fuel screw 2.5 out and started the ole girl.
Eventually she coughed to life although a bit rough on the choke. And again as soon as she get some throttle she dies.

I did notice if I get her off the choke and give her some throttle over 2.5k she responds to the throttle but only if I keep the revs up. If I let the revs drop she dies.

So she won't idle properly she dies a death without the choke or below 2.5k.....would this be anything to do with the pilot jet? Or any other ideas how to resolve?

Cheers in advance guys

[kartras]

Well got her idling all good eventually....gunked up pilot jets . and it wasn't long ago that I checked them out. I suppose I should have checked em first.........D'oh.......
Anyhoo moving on goto spend some time now with the family for the last bit of the easter weekend and earn some brownie points so I can sort a small fuel leak and start tuning her up....next headache....... she don't sound too bad either with the Laser exhaust .

well at least I is learning how these carbie things work.....ish.....

[Gix11]

Good stuff mate!

[The Phantom]

Coming along well.

Putting some focus on family is never a bad thing - and certainly much better than losing your family. And kids shoot up so fast and all of a sudden they're doing their own thing, don't miss the boat on that. My build is taking forever but I have no regrets :)

[kartras]

Well another f#$king disaster. was plodding along nicely and dropped the old girl in to get the carbies checked over and a little tuning and a run on the dyno. I knew things were not all roses down below with a few leaks etc but was really hoping for a break...but alas no luck. The carbies are Donald Ducked so that means big $$ in repairing . probably $1000 in parts plus labour for repair or a full new set about $1400 plus labour etc.(the man said a new set was probably the best option)

So anyone her got a set 0f 38mm mikunis for a 93 gsxr 750 wp?? I may have to break the old girl as i don't think I can afford a couple of grand to get the carbies replaced and still no paint done.

Anyone know the best place to try and source a second hand set preferably with some sort of warranty so i can get em checked out??

Man I'm over this sh1t. :(

What's wrong with the carbs? They're well known for a couple of things:
1) They'll never ever work properly with pods.
2) The o-ring around the float valve is reknowned for leaking.
3) They wear the needle jet badly - some guys make up stepped washers for the needle totry to stop it kicking over and wearing the jet. Aftermarket (Dynojet) needle jets are particularly bad for it (softer brass).

Full sets of carb o-rings can be had in viton from thailand for way cheaper than oem - everyone on the gixxer board swears by them.

Flatties for the WN/WP GSXRs are rare as hens teeth - the oil cooled carbs are a different spacing.

I've got a set of WN 750 carbs sitting here, but I have a sneaky suspiscion that your bloke just doesn't want to fuck around with/doesn't know his way around carbs.

Thank for the replies guys, sorry i am bit late back to y'all but was away with family Sh1t. On my way down to pick the bike up today and to see whats going on and find out properly what he think is going on . may just try again to figure things out myself.

Yeah I have heard that the pods thing may be my biggest problem. I had got a set carb o-rings from litetek in these carbs but still leaking perhaps new needles needed. anyhow will let you know what i find out. Tried a few breakers/wreckers but have heard nothing back.

Thanks for the replies and trying to keep the chin up but need the bike running for work commitments.
