Free tin of pop too, that's even better than a key ring 👍
Glad you're pleased with the Airman darrsi. I've an idea it is the choice of a few car manufacturers as part of the cars puncture outfit, in lieu of a spare wheel. It's also the one chosen to be in the Touratech catalogue, which is a positive endorsement. Happy, puncture free, days
Had a try of the new air pump yesterday.What a lovely bit of useful kit that is. Everything about it was better than the previous one i tried.The end of the pipe screws onto the valve, rather than faffing about with the push on lever type,
The FZS was running on 2 cylinders (#2&3). Ignition coils seemed OK so I pulled the carbs out and found loads of crap in the bowls and slightly blocked jets.. Carnbs back in. Still running on same 2 cylinders so pulled the carbs again and cleaned the fuel gallery out. A bit of crap blocking the rail.. Carbs back in.Now running on 3 1/2 with fuel overflowing from #3. Carbs out again. Float valves cleaned and resealed. Carbs back in.Now running on 4 but notice a small drip under carb #3. Touch teh pipe with a screwdriver to collect the drip to check if its fuel or coolant and now I have coolant spraying everywhere from a perished carb heater hose. Those feccin carbs are not coming out again in the near future so I will bypass the carb heater circuit for now. I never ride in cold damp conditions normally anyway,
I took my Fazer off the road once for almost 5 yrs, I did the above, rolled it out and started it. I didn't even change the fuel, there're too many myths out there.
Leave it now for a couple of months and they start to gum up. The difference now is the amount of ethanol in the fuel that was never there before.
Started stripping mine down to give it a good thorough deep clean and do some light maintenance. Removed the headlight assembly, all the mudgaurds, belly pan, radiator covers etc so they can be washed in the bucket then removed the full exhaust system (studs came off with ease... yearly copper greaseing proving its worth) so now I can give that a good buff and polish. Finally got the lambda sensor out of the downpipes and replaced it with a blanking bolt.Waiting on the new brake parts to arrive so I can service them. In the meantime I'll be out there with a toothbrush cleaning out all the little crevices that I can't usually reach and looking for any corrosion.All in all a productive day
Replaced all the brake lines on the 600 with oem. Washed and polished the 1000. Must wash and polish the 600 tomorrow if its dry
Finally got the lambda sensor out of the downpipes and replaced it with a blanking bolt.
What benefit do you get blanking off the Lambda sensor ?
