i like the seat, sort of same as mine which i love. i like the step up. great for 2 up and solo, my back pack just sits there.

I've downloaded the 'How To' for cleaning the fuel injectors and going for it today hoping I find somthing to explain the problem!

That seat looks cramped too me, I've never been a fan of cut down seats as one thing I like about 14s is the leg room.

My issue was the old fuel pump clip had popped off so the valve had come out!

Easy fix with some steel wire to secure it as per the sheet on here👍

Back on the road again quickly thanks to the support given on this forum  :smitten:

As it's international ride to work day, I rode to work as normal.

As you know I fitted the 4 pot calipers on Friday evening.
Re bled the front lines on Saturday.
Sunday I went on my usual brisk ride with some friends and the front brakes got steadily better and better.
I can now say they are significantly better than they were !
When I got home I noticed the new sheen on the discs (caused by Suzuki pads over the old EBC HH previous pads) was still not at 100%.
So another say 150 miles should see them fully bedded in.
Very pleased indeed with the switch to 4 pots !
P.S I got the genuine Suzuki pads because the dealership in Preston had a very attractive discount on those pads.
He also had the EBC HH in stock if I wanted them..
The severe rattle of EBC in my 6 pots put me off those !

What's the chances of that, both our bikes had the same problem one day apart  :whatever:
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

From now I'll make sure I carry the tools to do this fix just in case!!

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

I found some pics from a couple of years ago while looking for something else. Figured it's rude not to post them, just to make Barmy wibble.

Remember kids it's a k2 with white* wheels.
