Not using Haynes, downloaded the service manual for free Thanks a lot, my friend is a car mechanic and has offered to lend me anything I need. He just wants to know what I need.

Only after the head gasket and not the full set.

Hi all, Removing my gixer engine this week and need to know what size sockets I will need? Borrowing them off a private mechanic,so they should be good quality. I'd rather buy a halfords set but money is tight.

Got a two brother zx6r exhaust doing nothing, I fancy using it on the gixer until I can get a Leo Vince. Is there any way to connect it to the original pipes? Its bigger than the original pipes and I was thinking maybe there is an adapter around that could connect them together. Something similar to how piping works where both ends are different size one to fit for he two brother and on to fit the pips. If not then I will just sell it.

Hi all, I have a 06/07 gsxr 750, I need a head gasket and is there any alternative's? By this I mean can I use a 1000 or 600 gasket? Or is there any older model gasket I could get that would fit? Only gasket I can get for mine on eBay is £170, after the price of a cylinder and £170 for gasket set. I'd be better off buying a second hand engine and stripping for parts. Thanks

I know many like halfords, which is the cheapest set that is needed to remove an engine? Trying to avoid a massive expense if possible.

Had an oil leak and took it to jordons and all was fine, 7 days later it was overheating like mad. He advised me that best course of action was a new engine to save money. Rode it around for a fair few months so I think engine will be really damaged now. I think cylinder is damaged but honestly Im clueless, its just what I read on gixer forums. Gonna test it when the new battery arrives, bike still works just overheats and leaks a bit of oil.

Bike needs a new engine, so found one on eBay and need advise on whether to get it or not. 5k miles without history No engine number Has old chassis number from where it came from. Sellers says its from a stolen but recovered bike and it was his spare for racing but was never used.

If you have a faulty head gasket and ride around on it would the bike still be repairable? Garage a while ago said they thought my head gasket had gone,he said just buy a second hand engine. He also said to ride on this one until one came up cheap. So I did and now I fancy having a go at fixing it myself but is it still repairable or have I done too much damage?

It was the generator end.

The saga continues......... Right,you were right it wasn't just the fuse but the re/reg wires were melted. so i replaced it and tried the new one. bat was dead but used one of those jump lead machines. stared up no problems. I got ill and didn't touch it for 2 weeks. So today used the same machine and it worked then it cut out, when i used the machine again my front end started smoking. getting a bat charger and will take off the front plastics, any suggestions?

Not really got any just paid for a wedding,new projector,kef r300 and a arcam avr600 so I'm poor at the min.
-
It didn't blow, going to take it for a ride thurs to make sure its ok. i will have another inspection but today i noticed no black marks or burn marks. I hope its not the rec/reg cos that was only changed in april
-
would this multimeter be ok? http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/electrical/c ... d=13269420 And cos it pocket version i could carry it in my bike
-
Thanks, it was the fuse you said. yay
-
Yeah, theres a big plug on the left hand side about the size of an apple. Check that's not all furred up. If the red key light is not flashing and you have no fuses gone and a charged battery, its got to the a bad connection somewhere. front or back? There was a fuse in the back left. not sure how we are picking left or right but it was on my left if i was sitting on the bike. it had a leg thing snapped i removed and replaced it but with zero effect
-
I not a bike guru or even technically minded but i did change the rectifier/regulator a few months back. I have taken all the information on board and first thing i will get pics of these areas and inspect and look for any hidden fuses
