Ive had my leg out at times but usually its when my hip goes into cramp i put my leg out to ease it.

I shall need to look out for these others though and have a good laugh at them.

 

Look out for others, in case they trip you up

:D

Well done mate and i had a 1992 CBR600f2 and it was a brilliant bike.

Any joy ??

Not had a chance to do anything to it yet mate

Pressing the starter it just tries to turn over but wont fire up. Its a strong turnover but just wont fire until its been left a while

Battery is about 2 years old mate

Plus it smells like it may be running rich

Makes no difference with choke open or closed.

Noticed my rubbers between airbox and carbs are hardened and have a slight gap between them and carbs.

Could this be the problem

I sat my test there. They took me out of test centre, towards renfrew then followed signs for paisley for the independent driving part. Headed back in towards hillington and cardonald then back to test centre.

My 1989 ZX10 seems to be struggling to start after a ride.

If im out on it and stop for any reason and turn the engine off it wont start again for about 15-20 mins.

It tries to start but just wont kick up straight away.

Any ideas what could be causing it?

Thanks

59 km/h and 57 km/h for avoidance

Thanks for the replies guys

Have you overfilled the reservoirs ? Too much fluid will not give the system enough room for the fluid to retract away from the pistons

Both reservoirs are at the max mate. Think i should maybe take a wee bit out?

Are you sure they weren't binding before but you never noticed? It does sound as said above that the pistons are stuck in the calipers, but that would have been the case before the fluid change as well.

Defo not binding before mate.

i could easily move bike forwards and backwards before the change.

Took it out a wee ride tonight and they seem to have loosened off.

Think ill still take calipers off for a good clean

So ive changed the brake fluid on my bike on front and rear.

Used the open, squeeze, close, release mode with a mate.

The problem i now seem to have is that my brakes seem to be binding on.

Not major but can feel resistance when simoky pushing the bike forward but if i need to push it backwards its very hard to do.

What could be causing this?

Nah mate not been up Dundee with it.

"My joy machine"?

There's something very Brazzers about that title.

very nice, even though it is the wrong colour

Haha, although i do prefer the Kawasaki Green colour it doesnt look good it this model.

Saw a few pics where people have it on their's and it just doesn't suit it.

Well here she is.

Ill give these a try and see how i get on with them.

Thanks

Been struggling to get the carb boots back over the carbs after having my airbox off.

Obviously with the bike being 28 years old the rubber is pretty dried out.

Is there any easy way to loosen or soften the rubber to get them back over.

Cant find any on ebay or wemoto to just buy new ones.

They are oval shaped aswell so cant just buy universal ones as most are round.

Cheers

You might be able to fit a stubby/GP style one on there without fouling.

Why don't you like it? Too long?

Not loud enough for me mate and just dont like it at all.

Its also scraped along it from catching it on a pole when pushing it into the place i lock it up.

If i cut it at the back of the end can the new can will foul the rear foot pegs as the can is on a bend. Im looking at buying a stubby so dont know if it could be cut lower down the pipe?

Evening all,

Just wondering if anyone would know a rough price on getting a link pipe made up?

I cant seem to find one anyway for a 4-1 system for my bike due to the age of it.

Absolutley hate the end can thats on it but its attached to the link pipe and cant be removes so want to get a new can and pipe made up for it.

Just wondering if anyone has had it done and roughly how much?

My bike is a 1989 zx10

Thanks
