VFR Servicing

What a bitch of a job.

All plastics and tank needed to be removed to get to the front bank to
change the plugs.

Some muppet put an exhaust clamp in the way of the oil drain plug - and
the bolt in the clamp naturally snapped when I tried to undo it.

And the fuel line split as I lifted the tank.

Still, that's oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs and coolant done now.

 

You really dont want to bleed the back brakes on a zx12r, take 30 minutes of
tank off etc to get to the rear res alone.

I've just had afternoon tea with that bike's previous owner. I'll pass on
the insult on Facebook.

 

You've been to see my Mancunian brother?

sorby - we were at my mum's care home as it is her birthday. Sorby is
shacked up with my niece. He, and the other musical ones, sang her a few
songs. The old dears & chaps seemed to like it. I imagine it will all be on
Facebook later as Kate, the niece, was taking photos & recording video.

 

Make sure you use the words clumsy **** when you do so.

 

Yes, I know all that.

He's 2 owners back, though - and not responsible for some of the horrors
I've uncovered.

 

The dry break connectors on Suzuki fuel tanks are things of beauty.
