when it comes to an important piece like that i dont like to bodge
i do in many other areas as it is
i have managed to find one for £35 just waiting for it to arrive
update email says its being processed so god knows

just had a look at it properly today and looks like it will clean up pretty nicely
rebuilt the top end again today and i now have suction on inlet port 3 whoopp the airbox delete might finally be running like it should
just waiting on the carb fuel inlet nipple and my new chain and sprocket kit and she is back on the road once more

i live near Fuel exhausts so ive been considering them as they include a link pipe and have a large selection
- really tempted to go see if i can get a tour of there warehouse

i found one 35 quid - if you have one you will need it - its the bit that sits between carb 2+3  for the fuel inlet
- i saw fowlers but thought back order could take ages
- my other bike didnt sell on ebay so thankfully i still have a backup bike for a few months

hoped prayed and carried on as i had to get to preston
suddenly only running on 3 cylinders - carry on and pray
on way back sudden bad noise pull over loose chain - strange
load of tools purchased later i am pointed out the link had broken and not a split link either a rivet link
no correct replacement and no recovery (thought i did) so i used the incorrect split link with no side plate only a clip to hold it (never do this)
27 miles later bad noise chain flings link and all comes to a sudden skidding stop still 20 miles to go - no phone signal get walking,
phone a friend who is waiting on the 400 quid in my pocket to buy a little bike- one seat alhambra later a fazer back at home
(please note i have no fairings or mirrors which ment it fit in the seat)
one pissed of bloke today got to go strip my head again

i hope the old pump isnt the first prize lol

great to watch a full resto going on
mine might be getting the full strip and redesign treatment when i get my new house in the city (need it everyday here in the countryside)
will be watching with anticipation of where you go with yours
im thinking of going a metalic high sparkle blue with hydrodip layed over the top
if your wanting to stand out have a look at the hydrograpics options its amzing what you can have done now

mines more a humbug
bite to hard and it gives you a kick in the teeth

after wasting a lot of money on cheap clutch cables in the last year (twice ending with recovery vans) i decided a good quality one and pre lubing it myself aswell was the best plan and all has been well ever since.
TSX cables are about 15 quid on ebay and fzs clutches are a lot lighter than 82gsx's and i rarely have trouble with TSX

tape will work to sort out the shorting out
simple repair
-remove speedo, snip and solder in a few inch pieces (keeps the length)wrapping in insulation tape on each wire
if you have heat shrink add it to outer sleeve before hand and shrink once job is done to give a more water resistant finish

interesting thought - if the 'funnel' catches what falls from that then where did the funnel pipe lead too - wasnt it into the airbox ??
just went to pods so i ripped everything out and threw it under a workbench
water into airbox wouldnt be a good thing

strangely i even mention rolling on the throttle in the video lol
taking it on a long run on friday so hopefully will get used to the change in engine characteristics
