Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Nice bike, I like the chain adjuster.

I like adjuster and axle nut. Problem is im not paying $80 for a nut. Been thru this b4, no sim size nut at bolt shop.

Well after I adjusted the TPS and STP it was better but below 2.5k revs it was still hesitant. Tonight I took the fuel pump out and cleaned it the tea bag filter, pressure relief valve and high pressure filter as per the quite on here. I haven't taken it for a ride yet that will have to wait until Sunday but when I started it the bike sounded better and seemed to have a sharper throttle response. Hopefully this will have solved my issue. If it doesn't then I assume it is the injectors that need cleaning.

I went for a quick ride last night & completely miss timed the gap between the showers on out BOM radar & got hit by a torrential downpour 😳😳
I couldn't have gotten wetter if I'd stepped in to the shower 🚿

Did you wire the pressure relief vale in place before fitting the pump?  For some reason the pump does not like to be stripped down.

No I didn't but the white lasting clip that goes round it clicked back in place firmly. Is it worth me taking the tank off again before going out for a ride tomorrow.

Those clips tend to break after being 'undone.'    Have a read of the below link

Thanks I will be securing it in place before I go out I don't have any stainless wire so will have to use plastic cable tie but will get some wire ordered and when it arrives will replace the cable tie

[seth]

@paulr5604 don't use a plastic cable tie as the petrol can melt them .
Just wait till you get some stainless wire .

Thanks.

I didn't see this before putting a plastic cable tie round it I will order some today and get it replaced asap

Just found some wire in my shed. Not 100% if it is stainless or not some of it has been used in my garden for plants to grow up for the last 2 years and it isn't rusty. Is it same to assume that this is stainless.

probably galvanised, so the petrol may react with this too. Stainless is best

[paulr5604]

Stainless steel locking wire ordered arriving tomorrow so that is tomorrow nights job

For once I'll disagree with Seth.

Mine's had a plastic cable tie for years & it's never melted.

[seth]

@Hooli I was just remembering a problem someone had in the past .
I guess cable ties can be made from different kinds of plastics .
I've never brought a pack of them in my life so I can't tell you what's in mine but work provides them when I need any lol .
That said I've never stripped my pump down that far .
