![]() As Mavizap has suggested, the drain tube from the filler well can leak. If you open the cap, at the front right of the well you will see a hole, this is a tube that runs right through and out of the... |

![]() Sounds very much like either fuel starvation or contamination. Drain the carb float bowls, it's not easy to get a container under the carb to collect the fuel such that it might be examined, but if... |

![]() Nothing else is a straight fit, no. I haven't any doubt that there are any number of calipers that could be persuaded on, but any other caliper will be subject to the same corrosive circumstances... |

![]() Throttle bodies or carbs - balancing does exactly the same thing and by the same process. Curvies have TPS too, setting nowhere near as critical as FI bikes. Throttle transitions on SVs can be... |

![]() The pipe corrodes, expands and splits the collar - not unusual. As long as the bit of the head where the gasket seats is still (I've not seen one that isn't) it's fine - if unsightly. |

![]() You can use a radial master cylinder from a GSXR, I tried one for a while and there's no question the brake action is different, but I wouldn't say it's better. The weak spot is the calipers, I'm... |

![]() You don't need to remove anything. Turn the steering to one side, crouch down and you'll see the rubber cap and bulb connector, a torch may help. The notes you read for the Pointy are essentially the... |

![]() Good tip, it's often worth looking around for parts from 'cousins'. I used to use Suzuki GSX550 clutch cables on my Kawasaki GT550, the fit was good, but they were much heavier and lasted better. |
