Help with bike lying up

[seth]

There is also an internal filter in the injectors that injectortune will also replace
Just for info someone who's not used to doing this might not even get them properly cleaned as the injectors also rely on the spread pattern of the fuel as it leaves the injector.
Upto you but I'd just get them serviced properly by folk who do this for a living and supply everything you need to refit them.
Suzuki will charge £15 a seal for replacements.
Good luck .

Ye I'm thinking this meself Seth.
Wasn't sure if there was an internal filter in these injectors but if there is I'll definitely get injectortune to do it so
Was just a friend said he knew someone who would do them for nothing ,the little devil on me shoulder obviously loves saving money!!!!
But no I'll get it sent to injectortune.

[seth]

Save money other ways like going to the cheapest petrol station in town or things like that not on something you can't do yourself.
Looking at those injectors I would also fit an inline filter pre the fuel pump and make sure the other filters(teabag& high pressure fuelpump) as well as the fuel lines a dam good clean too.
I use a big can of carb cleaner on the fuel pump filter and teabag.

Thanks Seth.
Injectors sent to injectortune
More interested to see the before results
Found your thread

Will give this ago while Im waiting for all the rest of my parts arrive

[seth]

I've added the same filter to all 3 of our gsx1400's
For a couple of £ well worth it .

As I wait impatiently for my injectors, I got back to looking at the forks.
Cleaned up the lower fork that i hadn't changed yet.
Gonna get some etch primer and thinking of spraying blue. What you think?

Although as I was cleaning I noticed that I f**ked up the new seal I put on ages ago.
Found leaking oil

So this one will need to be redone.

Got a go at the calipers.
Rear caliper mounting bolt had snapped when trying to get it off so had to use the angle grinder to get it off the bike!
now gonna have to attempt to drill the old bolt out on the caliper.
Managed to remove the piston ,now just to get a new seal set.
2 front off. Put my god the pistons were totally seized,no budge.
Tried my car tyre compressor to get them out but no luck,brought them to a petrol station and tried there compressor,no luck.
So had to resort to the primate in me and got the pipe grips out and had to pull them out!!!
But in doing so have left the odd knick in some of them but fairly scuffed others



Now I know the inside of the piston isn't too much of a deal with scuffs and scratches but I'm pretty sure the outside on a few of them are f**ked or what do you think?

[Hooli]

I'd reuse those pistons. When you consider how deep in the hole the proper seals (not the dust seals) are I doubt they'll be an issue. I've reused worse without problems.

[Suzuki boi]

Thanks Holli.
I'm gonna reuse the pistons.
Got one of the calipers cleaned and resealed



The injectors from injectortune arrived a few days ago.

had a bit of time this evening.
Fitted the injectors, bike starts up and sounds much better now
But after about 30 seconds cuts out.
May have to adjust the throttle body.
New tyres on the front and back.
My chain tool arrived from Amazon today.
But the f**kers sent me double 1 piece of tool and missing a piece.

So had to use the 2 of them on joining the chain.
First time doing a chain so I think it looks ok .
Got the 2 front forks fitted but for the life of me I can't get the front tyre on!!!!!
I can't get the tyre and the bottom fork holes to line up . I really hope it seems impossible due to tiredness!!!!

[Hooli]

I'm starting to think mine might need the injectors servicing. It doesn't run quite right when cold & I've checked just about everything else.

Ye injectortune service was top notch.
Definitely a big difference since getting them done

[Hooli]

Sounds like a winter plan then.

So I've a problem I've had for about a week and spent a bit of money and it still isn't fixed so here for some more wisdom.
I had the bike running better after the injectors were cleaned,
Needed to change a spark plug so did that a few days later.
Went to start it,nothing ,CHEC on the display.
Noticed ignition fuse was blown
Changed it
Pop again
Bit of cursing and fiddling with cables.
Turn key,fuel pump relay constantly clicking.
It will crank but not start.
Got a new fuel pump relay same thing.
Clicking would stop with fuel pump /sender disconnected.
Got new fuel pump fitted it ,nope still clicking.
Today I took the pump out of the tank.
Wired it up without the fuel sender , and the pump primes and everything sounds normal.
Happy days I thought.
Connected it all back up to the tank ,kept it wired bypassing the fuel sender.
Turned key ,pop goes ignition fuse
So the pump is shortening out to the tank or the pump is allergic to petrol 

[Suzuki boi]

Found out what was shortening .
The live + cable that is on the base of the fuel pump housing ,was shortening on the base.
It was making contact with the base.
Insulating tape stopped the fuse blowing and the pump now primes
Doesn't start still,something for me to mess with another day.
€50 gone on nothing
And all it was was a cable with no insulation 

[grog]

Well found mate. You sure are persistant. Good onya.

[seth]

Well done
Keep at it your getting there .
I'm sure it'll be great when it's finished and back up and running .
