I'll have a look when i get home.

[mention]Speedy23[/mention] No bike night used to be on a Wednesday and I was always out doing other social things. By the time I was free on Wednesday there always seemed to be probs so I never went. When it was the Waterman was a sound place, used to take clients there for lunch, but your right it is now an expensive poncy place and they moved the bikes to Hatton world. Didn't go there either. Often went into Stratford when the bikes were parked along Waterside. Now on the warm Friday afternoons after work often go the Wellesbourne Touchdown cafe. Been to the Waterman, Hatton Arms now on the bike for a drink. We were allowed to park on the carpark and order at the bar.

I'm based Warwick, Leamington. Not out much at the mo. As most weekends taken up between now a Christmas, but I'll keep an eye on this thread in case I'm free on any suggested dates

[mention]Tango[/mention] just beat me to it

When it is on the stand and in gear and the wheel rotates when you Rev. What happens if you then operate the back brake without touching the clutch? If it stalls as beefy says check front brake, If it continues to rev and wheel stops then check clutch

Well done [mention]AlunJ[/mention]

Have a look here for a manual https://www.manualslib.com/brand/suzuki/motorcycle.html#G

My local Halfords doesn't. All they do is carburetor air pipe which may not be fuel resistant. I was quite surprised.Perhaps the larger branches have it in stock but at the smaller ones its available on click and collect according to the website. The one in Leamington did have, though not looked for that since they downsized the store. It is still listed on their web site.

Could also check out Halfords they have various sizes of fuel pipe.

Have you tried running the bike with the fuel tap set to PRI? If it runs well check the vacuum pipe is fully opening the tap.

See if the destruction say it is safe for use on plastic. Some car stuff isn't

I'd like to take credit for this but it was Tango 🖒 Glad you had a good ride out. Could have sworn I clicked on @tango doh

I'm back home. Was good to meet all, Fred, Lat, Tango and Bonnie + guests. And a big Thankyou to [mention]Tankbag[/mention] for organising.

Am just about to leave for hungry hogs. See whoever there.

[mention]KingRoach[/mention] Take the caliper off the bike and gently rotate it so that the new bleed nipple it at 12 o'clock in relation to the caliper cylinder. The gently open the bleed nipple.DO NOT OPERATE THE BRAKE LEVER. Brake fluid should start to rise into the bleed tube gently rock the caliper and look for bubbles in the fluid. Hopefully you will see some. Close nipple Check fluid level in master cylinder. Repeat the above till no more air appears. If you operate the lever during this time you will A push air back into the caliper and B push the pads right out as the brake disc is not there to stop them. HTH

Booooo, I say. Booooo. Looking forward to it, despite the autumnal weather. Yeah tell me about it! I have a fence to sort out that's been destroyed! It will wait you just need a good ride out to get yourself in the right mind set. Best not to rush these repair jobs.

At least it is supposed to be dry for my start time tomorrow

Might have to turn the heated grips on then.

Well done

Unfortunatly with these the air isn't forced out of the caliper, it's short circuits from brake line to bleed nipple. You have to rotate the caliper so air migrates up to the nipple then open it and allow the air to rise naturally .

Quite a bit on the web re removal of the secondaries.

I think king is referring to the type of 2 stroke oil he should be using.
