Re: GPz11 Uni front wheel bearings

Thanks chaps. I was over thinking it. I thought the silver lip obscuring the circlip was another clip. Didn't realise it was part of the casting until I saw Angus' pic showing the the two 'lugs' on 41064. The centre sleeve took some persuasion to move out the way to get the drift in and the speedo d...

GPz11 Uni front wheel bearings

Cleaning up the wheel ready for new bearings and I'm stumped. FSM says remove the clips from each side, then remove the speedo drive and punch the bearings out, if I'm reading it right. However, on the speedo drive side the circlip is behind the speedo drive which is stuck fast. It's also slighlty d...

Re: Oil pump gasket

Thanks, I realise new is the best way but with other gaskets if correctly greased before hand can be reused. The reason I was asking is that they are 7 euros plus shipping here in France. After cleaning up the bits I've spotted a small tear so it will need one anyway now.
Cheers

Oil pump gasket

Just stripped the oil pump on the Gpz11 for a clean and the FSM says to replace the gasket. It is in one piece and not damaged. Do I need to replace it?

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Couldn't really see the colortune due to sunlight but did a sync. No 2 had risen 6cm. Levelled that off with No.1 then had to bring 1/2 down 3cm to match 3/4 lifting the idle as I went to stop it stalling. I starts very well, no popping at all on choke and very steady cold or hot. Went for a quick b...

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Checked the temps of the downpipes and No.2 now gets as got as the rest. Tank back off tomorrow evening to redo the mixt...

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Mark, check your Clean Air System. On mine the vacuum solenoid is knackered and is always open regardless of how much or little vacuum is applied so the airbox is always feeding air into the exhaust. The reed valves work but the inner gasket on cyl 1/2 was broken and it was a bit of a mess in there....

Re: Much cooler downpipe

Thanks for clearing that up Al.
Probably to stop the spring trying to tie itself in a knot when you put the end bolt on.
