It's just a guy from the local chips away worthing franchise, he did a local repair on the burn through and clearcoated the tank.
Front mudguard and handlebar fairing in the future  :cheers:

Thought I'd replace the airfilter with a genuine suzuki one, should have been serviced when sold, but you never truly know., think it was due for replacement 🤔

It is nasty,should run even better now.
Anyone know the size of the hex bolts holding the bracket above airfilter on, one bolt is slipping on my socket, had to use the spanner on it.

10mm socket from memory, couldn't tell you the thread size.

There's a sticky on here somewhere with bolt sizes, it might be on that.

If you're talking about the tank holding bracket then it's M6.

BTW, I've just removed that nasty airbox from my K4 when I fitted the K3 engine and it has individual air filters ... the K4 had a K&N for the airbox, so if you want to pay postage, then I'll give it a clean and re-oil it and it's yours (never need to buy another filter again) ... I won't be using it so might as well be of use to someone  :cheers:

Thanks for the offer on the filter, unfortunately I've already put in a new Suzuki filter in, old one was manky.
M6 bolts eh, think a stainless replacement is in order .

Cheers Paul
