I saw Kevin Swantz race the actual Lucky Strike no. 34 Suzuki many times at Donington, Silverstone and Brands. He was the Marc Marquez of the late 80's / early 90's. So acrobatic that they named the corner after him at Donington where we saw him almost lose the bike. The number 34 was retired from MotoGP numbering with him. Richard
If the fuel supply valve was clogged you definitely need to check the carbs as well. I'd would have done it anyway. Used to have an air/oil cooled GSXR-1100 back in the nineties btw. You seem to have a good taste 😉
Sounds like the pilot jets are a little fured up but not serious, the lumpy running will mostly be the airbox rubber. Once that is back on you could balance the carbs but I would leave it until after filters, oil change and checking the valves as you will need to do it again after those anyway. Looks like it was a well cared for bike, all the bolts are OEM which are the first place a bodger starts spoiling things.
Thanks for the comment, I believe it was well looked after and like you mentioned it's great to see mostly genuine bolts, I will probably grab a fairing bolt kit as they seem to be a bit mismatched. Yes, it will need some maintenance which I will film as well. The paintwork has some imperfections in places but overall is ok.
Lovely bike I’ve just bought a Suzuki gsxr750 k1 that’s been sat for 12 years so gonna be doing a similar thing to you getting it back on the road so very interesting video to watch
Enhorabuena, tienes una joya, además que de motor tiene que estar muy bien, porque suena fina,fina, lo único limpiarle los carburadores,si ya se que en este modelo es muy difícil, porque no hay espacio.Gracias por tu video y por enseñarnos está maravillosa Gsxr
Gracias, estoy emocionado de profundizar más en esto y espero poder resolverlo todo. Como dices, la limpieza del carburador va a ser difícil y la caja de aire solo sale quitando el motor.
I wasn’t initially sure which way round the pipe set up was as the two lines are plastic with no securing clips and the singular line is rubber with a securing clip which led me to believe it was fuel. Thanks for the heads up
Danke, ich habe das bemerkt, als ich den Motor ausgebaut habe, den ich sowieso geplant hatte, um sicherzustellen, dass ich alles überprüfen und reinigen kann.
@@bananabrooks3836 Thanks for the information I don't think I was too far out. My neighbour had an 1100 in 1997 that he kept in my garage for about 3 years. I had an import GSX750F (jelly mould) at the time, it was all I could afford at the time. Lol happy days 😁

Love these bikes! 😊
Absolutely stunning bike. Absolute rocket's. I have heard it can be difficult , to get certain parts. I hope this is not the case..
Omg, that sound, 😍

Thank you for your comment!
It definitely needs a good go over but like you say at least it hasn’t been “got at”

Had the same year 750 blue n white never missed a beat mate named it the blue bolt cheers

Thanks Lee, good luck with your one! hopefully this video playlist will be helpful.
Would you consider doing a video diary on your progress?
Hi Snakeman, Thank you for your comments. Yes definitely, I will be doing a video playlist for everything I do on the bike.

@@TurningSpannerz Gracias por tu respuesta y deseando ver más videos de la Gsxr
I ride a ninja 7R , but those old Suzi’s still give me a lazy one😂
😂
You’ll find it easier to get the tank on & off without the plastic part of the tap on 👍 I speak from experience of a gsxr1100wp 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks! Maybe I will take it off before I break it off!
Your supposed to take the plastic petrol tap off when removing tank your lucky you didn't snap it off you don't have to remove bolt at from of tank
You can get a filter for it it’s a Chinese motor cycle filter
Or a Yamaha blaster I think has the same long pet Cock same tank seal so possibly same filter too
Thanks for the heads up 😀
That is a Canadian bike, so it has 19,000 km, not miles. Also the two barbs on the petcock are fuel, the single is vacuum.

Der Motor muss nicht raus, um die Vergaser auszubauen! Luftfilterkasten unten zwei Schrauben lösen und nach hinten schieben.

What engine has?
It's not 'kin 'retro' at all. It was a contemporary design.
Is it the slingshot model?😊
@@alanrichardson1672 'Slingshot' model '88 for 750, '89 for 1100.
