Hi all!
I've bought myself an old 1998 FZS600 as a project bike. When I lifted the tank up yesterday I noticed that the breather hoses are missing, and the bits that they'd normally connect to are dry as a bone and quite rusty. Should I be concerned about this?
Also, whilst I'm on a roll
the engine on my bike seems to have suffered the famous engine-paint-flaking problem that I'd read about. Do you guys have any suggestion on the best sort of paint to replace the stuff that's flaked off?
I read somewhere about Hammerite Smooth black paint.. Dunno if this is a silly idea though!
