Default GSXR 750 kart build began - updated Sunday 10/09/05

engine is a gsxr 750 carb'd model from a 1984 gsxr 750, not quite as powerful as the modern day 750's but should be plenty quick enough to push a little go kart along

the kart is a gearbox racing kart, with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes

this is how it looked when it was collected

we decided to extend it 500mm as that was the smallest distance we could get to allow the engine and exhaust to fit on the chassis twith the seat in position!

cut 3 lengths of tubing the same as the rest of the chassis, and slid them over the 3 bushes we made to make extending and keeping the kart inline as easy as possible. need another 3 bushes to continue anyway, no pics of those as yet, will sort sum out

got a bit carried away with the grinder later on and decided to just cut the rear drive shaft into a fiew pieces and remove it that way, got a spare anyway

will be making some more progress at the weekend

jimmy - seen that vid, its well cool that kart has the 1100 engine version of the 750 in the one were building.

ebay is where weve been getting bits from to be honest, prices dont seem to be too steep for kart stuff

good luck anyway mate, keep us updated with piccies when ya can

i think the isolation valve in the fuel line needs to go before the fuel pump straight after the tank, will have to make him change it
