Yeah but all they do is light a light. They dont interupt spark or anything. And the clutch switch is retarded. Thats the first thing that gets eliminated on my GSes. While trying to tune a bike it pisses me off to have to have the clutch pulled in to start it. The idea was there. But the...

Not hard to do. If you'd like i can scavenge a wiring schem from the GSR for you. Obviously the colour code wouldnt match likely, but the principle would be same. Also another worth while mod as its your daughters bike and im sure she's "daddy's girl" and you'd like to keep her as safe as...

Indeed.... the connectors and wiring were made of Kawasakium or Yamahanium. Rare earth metals with very very short half lives.... They're on the periodic table. As in they worked, periodically.

Yeah, some of the older GSes ive had have been like that, just a nub or even a screw stopping it. The later ones i wired a relay into that cut the headlamp when you thumbed the starter button, or if i got even fancier, didnt kick the headlamp on at all until there was enough voltage to open the...

you'll wanna rig a vent of some sort... And dont forget, gas expands when it gets hot...

Im sure this may have been covered at some point... Been a long while since ive been on here, but thought i would toss this out there in case it wasnt. So everyone likes their quick turn throttles.. Some of ya spend big bucks on em, some people simply use some PVC to fatten up the stock...

That headlamp loop was originally there for when you used to be able to shut off the headlamp. When they had the switch, and you shut it off, it killed one leg of the stator. But like I said, Suzuki didnt like to re-tool for shit. (Hence all of their "parts bin specials" we love so much. They do...

Exactly. Ive been rebuilding GSes for years...the first things to go in the garbage are the RRs. Absolute JUNK. For a while there was a bloke doing Honda rewires that were plug and play for the GS... To be honest, aside from the Zook crappy RR, 85% of charging issues IMO are resultant of poor...

Well, they arent really different, no. But single unit alternators have less of a propensity for individual units breaking down because there are less connectors and less runs of voltage sapping wire. Im quite familiar with how a alternator, generator and such are designed. But the fact...

Re: Suzuki GR650- change is in the air....... Cool...Thought i recognized the handle, Im TCK over there... I havent posted on here in a long while...wasnt even sure it was still around. Pleased that it is... I have a new project to plan.. Mwhahahahahahah!

Re: Suzuki GR650- change is in the air....... Rich you over on the GSR at all?? there are some mods over there that will work with your GR... Like Kawi twin pot calipers with Honda CBR semi-floaters, theres a guy that makes brackets for the binders on there. Salty Monk. And actually someone...

how big is your Bro? Im 6'4 250#... He roughly around there or what? I just saw the ad for Bilts boots in the new MC... I have been wanting to give em a shot. they any good or just cheap stuff?

I like it... If you extend the pipe, make it tucked into that little pocket you cut out of the seat, it will really scream two-smoke race rocket..

Theyre great platforms for small racers. Well the lumps are anyway. A good many of those Moto3 bikes will be based on repurposed mud slinger mills...

fairfield: To your question re: running your Hibeam phase to your RR, I dont think so, but you may ask the Honduh experts on here. Ive had a couple, but never long enough to get that far with :p If you've only a three wire RR im going to guess that your honda runs a two phase charging system...

Oh and I didnt get a shot of it that i can find, but it still says Honduh on the back...

which'n? Theres a 750 bum stop there and a 350... Not sure on the 350 seat... I dunno enough about em to tell ya.. But based on what ive found they're all pretty much similar.. Anyone else know?

Kinda has a Zook Gamma look goin on at the moment... Im watchin.. I love me some ELR. Finally bought myself a ZRX this year, in green of course :)

I just want an "old school" styled jacket similar to this with some damn armour in it...is that too much to ask?

Ahem.... As to the topic at hand.. Typical shunting type regulators are generally what are used in most UJMs that people find. And, with almost every manufacturer (honda, Kawi, Zook..etc) they were built and designed by the cheapest bidder...but that doesnt mean they dont work. Most often...
