Tea Bags

[Notty]

Tanks off and ready for trip to Bristol to the sales with Mrs Notty then off to the paint shop  what a pain getting the last drops of petrol out !! Anyway, figured change the teabag whilst its out so are these the correct ones?

Didnt even realise this was a part that could be changed.. I desperately need one of these too.. Might order a set then we will have a few we can scatter around in the UK lol

[seth]

easy to change send me your address jay I'll send you one .
i washed my teabag filter and high pressure filter with a whole large can if carb cleaner and the teabag filter came up like new and didn't need to use any of the new ones.

Just about to write that tea time ain't over 'till the high pressure filter has been cleaned but Seth turned up and mentioned it

[grog]

Fit external high pressure filter. Job totally done then. Tagged in fuel section.

[Proteous]

given that my bike was sat for years the inside of the tank went.. 'bad' so even after cleaning and scrubbing and whatnot my teabag just isnt right, its almost like its kind of melted if you know what i mean.. still works but i dont think its completely right.

and cheers Seth

The suggestion has been made that I check my teabag filter... so, where is it - on the fuel pump pick-up inside the tank I assume ?
Anyone in Aus know the best place to get a replacement? Or best (and cheapest) method of cleaning?)

fuel pump pick up is the small hose in the pic (goes from rear of the tank to bottom of the fuel pump) and in 2nd pic where i added an inline filter to assist the teabag filter.

The link below is for gsxr1000 teabags
Just check on robinsons part finder page
Can confirm they are the same parts.
(They have updated/replaced the gsx1400 part number with the same part number as the gsxr1000 one)

My K5 has 6K and the tea bag was bad - got a new one thanks to Seth and fitted by Froudy !!

[seth]

An inline filter will help reduce that .
To be fair mine looked just like that but cleaned up like new with a good wash with a high pressure can of carb cleaner from inside and out .
So if you still have it clean it up and keep as a spare .
