As per title.......Cheers.

My fuel pump runs for ages(and noisy)exactly 5 secs every time I turn on ignition, I thought once fuel is in bowls the pump wouldn't need to keep priming


itself every time.

I read on here to test fuel pump you can put a finger over the outlet of the pump and turn on ignition, see if pump stops or carries on (pressure check)..


Did that yesterday and pump keeps running (priming ?) for 5 sceonds with my finger on outlet ..(exactly same length of time as when I turn ignition on..)


Should it stop more or less straight away with my finger over it , or run for a few seconds before stopping ??


Cheers

So I am looking at replacement headers on ebay and came across this set, that appears to have removeable collars/clamps -

I checked Fowlers and these don't look removable, so my question is where would we go and buy these from..?

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a pair of Fzs 1000 grab rails/handles.
Preferably in black, but any color will do.
I'm located in Iceland so the seller must be willing to send it up here.

My FZS1000 clutch works just fine and the gear change is exactly as it should be.  However, an odd noise has developed – can anyone help?  When shifting down from third to second and second to first, I occasionally get a ‘screech’ exactly at the shift point with pressure on the gear lever.  It sometimes also has a quick shriek when you press the starter.   

I’ve had the cover off and checked the pull bearing and it seems fine and smooth when pulled (bike has only done 25K).  Does this sound like a clutch problem or something in the ’shift’ department?

UPDATE - I'm rebuilding the clutch with a new main roller bearing, not that the old one was completely shot. 

Now this may just be poor riding on my part but recently I've started to notice that I struggle to drop more than 1 gear without having to release the clutch a little?
So say I want to go from 5th down to 2nd, I pull in the clutch lever, push down on the shifter twice but the second movement has no effect until i release the lever slighty which makes the bike drop into 4th then i can knock it down into third, but not second until i repeat the process. Its always done this every now and again but these days its getting more and more frequent
Im just wondering if this is something that can be fixed with a cable adjustment? Or is it possibly a sign of clutch wear? Or is it just me being too shitty with my down shifts?
