hi all

I am new to bikes, i have just bought a non runner GSXR400 i think its a gk76. the guy i bought it off was planning a track bike project and in an attempt to shed weight chopped a lot of the loom off, so i will be looking for a new loom. also its not been fired up in 2 years. as i work i will only be able to spend whatever time i have free on it. i will be asking a lot of questions and appreciate any help i get

Hey,
Looks the part fella,fire away with the questions loads of info on here and some good lads always willing to help. You are in the minority with the 76 but i`m with you on that one. Keep us updated.

thanks andy. just had a look at the bike's frame. it says model: GSX-R400-RL

if i look for parts on e bay should i use this code ?

basicalli i need a wiring loom and a chain and sprocket set for now

Welcome mate looks nice . RL is the model number you don't need to search eBay with that If you just type in gsxr 400 loom there are 3 or 4 on there for the 76a. I think the only thing you Have to worry about is your bike should have 2 jack plugs for the Cdi box under the rear seat so you need a new loom with 2 jack plugs for the Cdi not 1 jack plug . 1 plug is for the sp model . Chain and sprocket kits are all over eBay but most bike shops will get you what you want

The L designates your model year. You have a standard 1990 GSXR400R. Try your Ebay searches using GK76. You will have plenty pop up. Give it a good look over. I found on my 1990 a lot of the rubber bits were in bad shape.

whats the difference between GK76 & GK76A ?

looked at the wiring today, every inch of wire is spliced, sliced or chopped. i need a new loom for everything. i have block connectors missing as well. so on the hunt for wiring now

Its a gk76a any other listing is the sme bike.

Normal model is twin plug cdi, SP is single plug.

Gosh...
Wish my house was as nice as your workshop.

Ps. Nice looking bike...

lol...thanks

well did some work yesterday







the loom looks like a mad baboon was let loose on it with a pair of snips......so with an engine loom i alos need left and right handle switches with looms as all block connectors on the existing loom have been cut off.

HI , Loom been chopped for racing 3 options
1. Repair it if your handy with wiring and solder iron
2.Find a complete 2nd hand road loom with all the bits you need and replace the lot
3. There are specialists who can knock a bespoke loom up but is costly
Lovely looking the 76a 100mph looks standing still , filth
Silver is even rarer , double filth
Keep the faith , that is a very special motorcycle you have
