^ i think im going to clean up all the connections to the tank and see if that makes a difference, they most likely haven't been unplugged in the last 7 years but more than likely have gotten wet

Now stop wasting time and buy a new air filter. 200 miles and you'll have spent the extra on petrol anyways! |

^ i have brought a new filter about............12 days ago and it went missing in the post, have another one on is way though so hopefully it will be hear tomorrow
PS after i Hoover'd the air filter and did the oil change, new pads and brake lines and 16mm tank risers im getting a hell of a lot more mid range and i mean a hell of a lot the bike is now picking up the front in 2nd it wouldn't do that before , now i was obviously not riding economically but hopefully i will get better mpg as well im willing to say its defiantly the air filter thats to blame (and maybe partly me ) |

My K3 didn't have a flashing fuel light, it came on at a solid fuel light with ~ 2L to go!

FWIW... There is no need to go out and buy a new filter every time.
Blow the old one out with bulk air - not one of those little blowers. I use a 1/2" barbed end (effectively an open hose) as the nozzle from about 6-8". Air cleaner should be good for 60-100k km providing it doesn't get wet with either water or oil. |

RE. Mattcollins - some bikes have foam filter elements and they need to be oiled. For those who have them. Last edited by carternd; 27-03-10 at 08:12 AM. Reason: Thought |
