Glorian Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Righto little bit of a rant, Had my float valves changed about a month ago. Mechanic said i'll need it back in 200 miles to check the flaot valves it's a 20min job. So i forgot about it went in today and he mentioned it would need to be with him a couple hours.. Now how legit is this? and is it something i could check myself? I jsut feel like he's mugging me off a bit .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It will take a few hours not 20 mins Well about an hour really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Cheers Stu, getting a bit fed up with this place, Never get back to me in regards to ordering parts and generally don't seem to give a rats ass, might try a different garage to check it.

Stu Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 to be honest with you I dont know why they want to check them again! does it run ok now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 to be honest with you I dont know why they want to check them again! does it run ok now?Unless they didn't set them right in the first place...If it runs fine then no drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 but thats the thing why would he not set them right in the first place not setting them right could have trouble right from the off anyway I would look for another mechanic if your not happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Seems fine tbh.. Only issue i had was earlier a splodge of oil dripped off after i'd been riding about 2 hours straight lots of start stop crap getitng through traffic (i mean tiny amount like 10ml at a guess)Yeah think i might after the £400 bill last time i'm quite put off >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That's what I mean Stu. Where's the oil coming from? No excuse for having any leakage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 It appears (it hasn't happened since?) to be just above where the number 1 down pipe Will upload a photo later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Probably just need to nip up the valve cover a bit.If they didn't fit a new one when it was serviced then you might want to replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I assume that's the rubber black part on top? As far as i'm aware they're the old ones still. Noticed there is always some liquid seeping from them slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 you have got the main tope gasket which is rubber and can be reused a few times but in the end they do go brittle and end up leaking and also the bolts have rubber seals on the stems as well so check its not them leaking numbers 2 and 7 in this picture http://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gsf600-1999 ... ml#results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
