Well the old girl is 19yrs old and due its yearly service (by me)
So i thought i would get a carb rebuild kit including diaphragms and give the carbs a thorough clean up
New oil and filter and spark plugs and fuel filter

Just on with a full nut & bolt resto on my Gen1 thou, labour of love comes to mind. :'(


Speaking from experience of Yambits fuel filters, they're made to Yamaha dimensions but a bit crappy finished off, needs a bit of prep work before fitting, flashing needs scraping off on pipe ends & a sand smooth with some 600 wet/dry, had em weep fuel before, no leak if u prep em before fitting.

Guess i must be lucky then as this one fitted nice and snuggly and no leaks at all  :lol


still got to balance the carbs but bit too hot to be stuck in the garage at the moment


Running well though
