Re: Back from limbo

Thanks everyone. Will defo post some pics Kiwi, but I was lazy with the camera this last week, so won't be so much to show you. Did take more photos 4 years ago when I did the bulk of the work, so I've gotta dig through my photo albums to put together a decent report. Will get to it once the bike is...

Back from limbo

A couple of years ago a student asked me if I rode a motorbike and I told him I was an ex-biker. He said, "No such thing, your a non-practicing biker" and, well, he was right and here I am. Spent the last week's holiday rebuilding the old EXUP: Seriously cut down fairing (both side panels and windsh...

What a nice post!
Hello all!!!

My garage is hovering around the 0ºC mark, the roads too, and I broke my meniscus about a month ago. No biggy. I'm not complaining. Just the excuse I needed to stay upstairs where it's warm and snuggle with the Mrs. drinking wine!

HAPPY XMAS everyone!

You're just going to have to look for a different twist grip and go for one with a greater leverage/ longer pull. That, or try finding some lighter springs. Iff you're using a two cable throttle the spring shouldn't need to be that stiff (as you're closing the throttle with the return cable), Differ...

I bought some Yoshimura rearsets for the FZR and they were off a CBR. Can't remember which one now though. The only thing I had to modify was the end of the brake piston as the forked one off the FZR wouldn't line up. I ended up cutting the two 'fork' prongs off the threaded collar, then I welded on...

Dude ... Have you been to see a chiropractor (sp)? My ex-wife has scoliosis and would be bed ridden for weeks at a time. A Texan bone cruncher who lives here sorted her out and off anti-inflamatories for the first time in decades. It's lasted too, something like 7 years without any further probs or...

Dude... I thought your problems were leg based! Ouch, good luck with the neck. Is there any progress/impreovement or is this going to be permanent? Got the Spondon back together today. New fuel lines Removed the in-line filter just in case. Checked all connections. All good. Re-soldered the connecto...

Deserved smileys there. I know! Sorry!!!

Cheers guys, My first thought was the breather.. so I tried with the gas tap open for a few kilometres and it made no difference. I'll try my finger over the end of the fuel line, but if it ticks until it winds down/stops (which is does) that means it's fully pressurising the carbs. Does the pump wo...

Fuel starvation

I ran out of petrol about three weeks ago, with the tank full. On a hunch, I toggled the on/off switch a few times and the fuel pump didn't make its usual tic-tic-tic noise so I swapped it out and everything was back to normal and fine until yesterday when it did it again. :roll: I was 20km from hom...

Hey Big Jon,

I'm confused. I looked on eBay at L/H switchgear for the YZF1000 and non of them have a choke lever.

Is that a US thing?

Thanks Thom, No, it's a '90 FZR1000 (or it was when I started). I hadn't considered wiring for flashers seperately, and it's not a half bad idea (I mean it's a good one)!!! :) I haven't made much progress in the last year, due to laziness, injury, my girlfriend, illness and and kids, basically in th...
