I got a quote from Yamaha for a new float needle and brass seat for my fazer, after my bike started dumping fuel out of the carb every time I turned it off. They wanted £43.00 inc VAT, which for such a tiny (but very important) item, I thought was a bit dear. I found a company on ebay called 'Bike Business' who do a complete carb repair kit, with float needle, brass seat, gaskets and o rings for £10!! and theyre made in Japan. I was a bit dubious at first, but I thoght what the hell and bought 4 kits and did all 4 carbs for less than the price of one yamaha one! Touch wood shes been fine for weeks and runs like a dream. Worth a look if you want to save pennies!
