My 1999 Fazer

[MarkWales]

So I have had a bit of a miss fire on the bike and when I drained the carburetor  bowls found I had a large amount of water and rust bubbles. When I checked the clear fuel filter I have installed I could see the orange going through the filter (not good)decided to book the bike in to have the carburetors cleaned and balanced - beyond my current ability.


In preparation for this I today drained and removed the tank then flushed the tank with detergent and plenty of water once fully dried out replaced the fuel.


There was about a litre of really contaminated crap I removed from the tank  :eek


When flushing out the tank I saw what looked to be more like flakes of fish food than rust.


Fuel going through the filter now flows clear as hoped. need to use the thing more to prevent this happening again!
