Fixed my fuel tap... had the tank off last weekend to fix a small dent in it (long story, not happy Jan!)... when I was setting it up to spray with the touch up gun I managed to let it slide off the side of the esky I was sitting it on before I had it masked up and set up properly. It didn't cause any more dents or scratch the paint so I thought I dodged a bullet until I tried to switch to reserve on Friday morning... figured it fell on the fuel tap and broke it.
Anyway, turns out all it had done is force the tapered plastic bit inside to wedge itself firmly in place, so a bit of extra force with a very large flat blade screwdriver dislodged it and all is now back to normal...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

About 2 weeks ago I replaced the o-rings in my hangers and installed a new Suzuki fuel cock to fix the high idle problem, it is better slightly. Frustrated I decided I need to just tear it down and restore the bike like I originally planned instead of peacemaking it. Just ordered new hangers, bowl gaskets, and a carb o- ring kit. Purchased a can of Berryman carb dip. Also done with the spotty jetting.
My charging system is working until 4 grand where voltage begins to drop. Bought DeOxit and a solder iron. I am reducing wiring length where not needed and using DeOxit on connections I keep.
i restored and painted the gauges and headlight. Controls are off for painting and a new drag bar and brake light switch are in the mail.
Watched Roadkill where Freiberger insisted Gunk foaming was the greatest thing. 3 cans and 4 hour later she looks mint. I will post pics as I am still polishing the case with 400 wet.
Been busy!!!!!!

What makes it a Limited fairing?? Except for the DZUS fasteners and fancy paint, I thought the fairings were the same!!

85-86 750:
86 LTD:
The 87 750 then used the same fairing venting and fastener arrangement as the LTD did the year before, but with regular capscrews instead of the Dzus fasteners:

The standard GSXR750G/H sold in the U.S. back in 1986/1987 has the same fairing as the '86 GSXR750 Limited Edition sold here. The scoops are the same on the middle and lower fairings on both models. The only difference are the fancy DZUS fasteners, and the paint on the '86/87 model fairings.
The '85 GSXR750F sold everywhere except the U.S that year has a completely different fairing than any '86 or 87 sold here in the States.
The standard GSXR750G/H middle fairing pieces even have the recesses for the rivet heads when you install the wireclips for the Limited DZUS fasteners to mount them to the Limited top fairing.Attached Files

Got to have some fun doing the first valve check, had 3 to change, was able to score the shims at local shop but will take advantage of the swap deal you guys got going next time. bike has 55,000 miles on it and was looking good inside so I'm getting more and more satisfaction over the 500.00 I paid for itAttached Files
