So when the key is turned the needle climbs to the very top and stays there, all the time, however the reserve light still works? And often (not always) when it comes on the needle will jump to the correct level? How do i fix this so it works normally?

I need a replacement bolt for the very top of the fuel tank where it fastens to the top of the frame (just under the handle bars/yoke)
No idea what it is called though?! Any links to a seller or Ebay listing?

Not a whining sound... more a sort of washing machine cycle sound, more gutteral than high pitched? Started on the last part of the journey back from The Krazy Horse the other night so i has beeb wringing its neck. Bike starts and droves ok tbh, the sound is not present when sitting, just on the move, pulling the clutch in when rolling along the road does not stop it either. The bike was whining a little on the motorwats through the gears, but i noticed that stopped somewhat at least when this sound started? Also When stationary in the garage, engine running, if i hold the revs with the throttle ot seems like a larger chunk of the rev range is quite burbley now? Could be imagining it though. Carb rebalance? Cam Chain ? Leak in the carb rubbers? Any thoughts/advice would be great, apologies for the descriptions but without being here its difficult to capture the sound

Litteraly never used the choke to start the fazer, ever, it just bogs it down and stalls it if i try and ever utilize it during startup. Cold mornings sometimes it will start with a touch of the button, or if not just a whiff of throttle imput. Hot days is different As i have to hold the starter down and pump the throttle slightly but it always starts and runs etc...
just wondering why this would be ?

As above ive noticed a high pitched whining sound on the mororway (not really around town) in time with the engine speed, it shuts off if i chop the throttle or pull the clutch in? I have recently put the baffle back in the end can so im hoping its just normal engine noise that im not used to hearing as apose to gearbox or Camchain 😬

Ok so i almost kicked the garage door off earlier, mechanics at my local have tightened up the bolts that hold the brake fluid cap/diaphram on so tight that im close to stripping them, massively infuriating as all i want to do is top up the fluid (new discs/pads/fluids so im guessingvtheyvha e bedded in now)
Any ideas? Or am i just huba have to pop down and get them to loosen them off so i can top it up and replace the old bolts?

Ok so ive been an idiot, when beging a pad replacement half asleep i started to undo the brake line bolt instead of the caliper fastening bolt last night, only a small amount but a bit of brake fluid dribbled out onto the floor....

Replacing pads and discs before MOT. Right hand side caliper is done but the pistons did not come out evenly?! Top two pistons are ok but bottom two dont pop out as much, particular on one side, in fact it hardly moves?!
Is this normal? Im guessing not...

What are peoples top 5 most dramatic/effective mods they have done?
Im guessing a few could be:-
-High end Spotlights or LED fromt light MOD.
- Kebabs R6 shock mod (plus Fork springs etc)
- Renthal LowBars possibly?
- a decent touring screen for those of us who have a long comute?

Curious as to the effects on the engine when having pinched fuel tank Vacuum pipes? And how to create a straight route from the tank base to the floor with causing this issue?

Fuel pump is making a long noise when i hit the engine kill switch to start the engine from cold in the morning ? Alot longer than normal? Also the engine sounds a bit more tappy and agricultural than it used to (clutch area) and finally i sometimes get a sewing machine sound when its warming up from the clutch area ?
Ive balanced the carbs recently and about to change the oil and clutch cable as its at the end of its adjustment on the lever end (stiff to pull in as well)
Any thoughts? Cam chain tensioner? Bad cable? Gearbox?! Tbh The clutch and gear box engage fine on the move, quite slick actually... however pulling off from the lights is horrible, i have to almost launch it in higher revs to get it too slip properly? Any lower than 6k and it bogs down and then drops off the engine load (i feel a knock in the lever) and then i barely burble off the line... not sure what the issue is tbh

The time has come to do a final adjustment before i bite the bullet and replace the plates/springs etc... my question is how easily assessable are the nuts on the engine end if the adjustent that surrond the phillips adjuster? Just a normal appropriately sized sprocket set? Or do i need a special thin walled sprocket to fit? And i take it clockwise is slacker and anticlockwise is tighter on the adjuster bolt ? (My cable is too stiff and tight atm and i think i can smell hot clutch )

Tryed to swap the lever for an after market but only the brake fits, anyhow i took off the Clutch lever intially before i realised and then had to put it back, now it is stiff to pull when the engine is off in the garage, at least stiffer than before ? Feels ok when on the road, possible odd smell though? But tbh it has been raining and could just be water evaporating off engine parts....

As title says.. Last couple of days I've noticed a lumpy bumpy ride ? Tyres look ok, not entirely sure about the shock and forks, and if I'm honest I'm not entirely sure how to check those ?

Tell tale signs of loose throttle cable ?
How should the throttle twist feel? Should there be any real play on the twist grip between throttle opening ?
