    Indicator Relay, Flash.

    Solved, I called it a relay, it is just a flasher unit and I simply toched crossed wires, while "hot", ( I think). Thank you.

    Indicator Relay, Flash.

    Am I blowing relays? Put on a new headlight today, when I connected the indicators they work, at the right time, together, as they should, but they don't flash any more. Did I short the relay when fiddling about reconnecting the wires? They sort of flashed a few times, not consistently , then /...

    GS1100E bad timing chain replacement

    Old thread new questions. On the 750, 78, non interference fit valves, can the cams be left in place, only removing the 'Bridge' and perhaps the front chain guide?

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    I was beginning to think the same thing, with regard to mileage / wear. Only I was thinking perhaps the clocks were swapped, interesting.I will check out the wear on the pistons, and post it on here, soon as I get a chance. .Im off to look at hones.

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    Another thought! Do I look at the crank,rods ,bearings, the seals on the ends of the crank are fine?

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    3 thou. Front to back,2 thou top to bottom and 2 thou on the pistons. Took the call at work so he said something else about the pistons and I'm not sure what. Anyway he said that was that and that I needed a rebore. Valve job sounds like a good idea. Should I strip the head before handing it over?

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    So just a quick update, Went to the machine shop. The barrels are oval front to back, and enlarged bottom to top. The pistons are toast too. So its a re-bore then. Just going to stick to 750cc cos the head has been skimmed previously. Thanks for the advice. Any opinions on IMD Pistons?

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    Yeah checked all the valve specs, even bought a set of ball gauges. I found my piston ring gaps seem very large. How do I upload pics?

    Suzuki GS750. using oil.

    I did not do the leak down ( not intentionally), I just started taking it apart. I already know all the valve specs are within tolerance and will rebed the valves and reseal the stems on rebuilding. The pistons have not been cleaned they are coated lightly with oil. HUH ! I guessed the gaps...
