How NOT to change you brake pads and fit braided lines.
eastanglianbiker replied to Boothy's topic in Pitstop
nothing like learning as you go along and you are learning fast boothy -
they are often a rubber seal with holes in them to locate over pipes inside the tap and the lever on the front just turns to open or close holes from tank feed to carbs.cant hurt to take the back off the tap and check it out in there and while its off get plenty of wd40 or similar around the front of the tap

Need New Boots
eastanglianbiker replied to bikerimp's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
have a look on http://www.babybiker.co.uk -
have you changed the plugs and also checked valve clearances ?
-
find myself agreeing on this point with mega and i think this should be your new avatar
-
is there any sign of brake fluid seeping out anywhere,also might be the hoses are expanding when lever pulled due to the age of them,check fluid level and as you pul the lever in can you see the brake hose expanding anywhere,if so new brake hose is needed and then full bleed up of the brake
-
you mean the sliders the fork lowers
-
yep you can do that only thing with the 400 is it was only ever an import and spares might not be readily available over the counter dont forget there is wide choice of 600's out there that restrict to 33bhp ok as well and insurnce will not be much different
-
it might help if people knew what area you are in and be able to offer more advice or local bike shops who can help at the right price as well
-
you would be looking at least an hours labour charge as they have got to remove tank and release carbs from inlets and airbox to remove the restrictors then refit carbs and tank
-
did you pass on direct acess then or are you on restricted licence andyes it does sound like it is restricted
-
depends on what bike it is????
-
it sounds like it is either the starter motor again or the starter solinoid.the clicking you can hear will be the solinoid trying to turn starter motor over it is behind side panel remove the panel press start button you will find it and tap it with screwdriver see if it then turns bike over
-
doesnt sound like you have adjusted the chain correctly what bike is it and when you fitted new front sprocket on did it have less teeth than before as that might make sprocket smaller hence chain hitting swinging arm
-
check voltage to battery with ign off and then with bike running before changing reg/rec it might just need a good charge up
-
if you have got a trickle charger then charge it overnight and see what happens then or check voltages on battery terminals to see if its charging,did shop take the engine out to repair it if so have they plugged all the wires back in correctly

ive got stumps........i mean 29 inside leg and ive used links to lower my fireblade and had to modify sidestand but its not to hard to do
-
if its on the centre stand it shouldnt drop that far you will be able to do one side at a time as well
-
i would say its time for new rec/reg 14v at mid range revs isnt that high but they shouldnt get to hot to touch
-
not if you use the proper gasket sealant it will be fine you will only want a very light smear round it to just help take up any gaps
-
are you making sure that both mating surfaces are clean or any residue compounds that might of been used and then using a smear of silicone sealant round both edges of the gasket will help seal it also dont just do it up work in diagonal on the bolts to tighten it down
-
check the air filter as well and if it has been standing around for a while get some fresh fuel in it that will make a difference
-
what fzr is it as they do the 400 600 750 and 1000 cc models and has it got exup valve in exhaust
-
move the bar round on the spline take bolt out and move it round a bit then do bolt back up
