Drained the old oil today, however the filter does not want to budge AT ALL. Any tips? How important is.changing the filter?
Ive put some wd40 round tye edges to see if that free anything up

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....

I tend to slide back towards the tank if I try to put some distance from it personally

Tbh I'm probably just dialed into gixers/ninjas etc so I guess I should just suck it up and get on with it...

Yes I have been wondering about renthals tbh, could solve the issue

Yes and I'm very close to finding mordor 👍🏻
compared the GSXRS/ninjas I've owned previously the fazer feels unnatural to be away from the tank to me....

Ok so for me to be able to shift my weight about/arse off etc I need to be away from the tank, however if I have say a fist distance between my groin and the tank it feels like I'm stretching To reach the bars ?! Is this to do with the pegs?

I will have a look, I thought I might have a slow puncture on the front as it was low in comparison to the rear Last week, il check tonite, no leaking from what I can see. I wish I knew more about mechanics tbh!

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 ?

Ok so I think I need to adjust mine, way too much free play...

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 ?
