    Fuel Leak

    Why go with a slower color... Paint it silver to match the rest of the bike. He makes it up with the ported head. You had me at "head". Just makes sense to only paint 1 piece, instead of 5.... And Silver IS the fastest color. I think we proved that in Reno. Yes, but looking at my plastics and all the sand blasting and rock chips....... I am going to consider painting all But really it does not look bad the way it sits now!

    Fuel Leak

    Well I think it is fixed.... And I am the only one to blame, the problem about this is that it began to leak prior to my attempt to be a mechanic. I know at one point I was sooooo frustrated I am sure I over torqued those little bastards, I just don't know what caused the leak originally. I was fortunate to locate a slightly used tank that is now holding fuel, only problem now is I am going to need to paint the bike to match... No, wasn't the fuel pump....... Darn As of Saturday late afternoon - NO LEAK

    Fuel Leak

    No, it appears to be the Tank tried another fuel pump and high pressured line and same leak, same location.

    Fuel Leak

    In a pinch, brake crush washers will work if you can't get fuel ones. Just use a dremel to hog them out a little bit. thanks, do you think I need a new gasket since it is only 1 week old and maybe 2 weeks by the time I get to it again??

    Fuel Leak

    For $10 and it works your right it sure as hell is worth a try... I got to say that I would not. The local shop did not recommend this either... They believe it is the fuel pump, Toynut has an extra that he is sending to me, THANK YOU soo much, and we can give that a test to see if that solves the problem.. if not well see. Yours.... Reach around????? The tank still has the lip, so that seems good - I think

    Fuel Leak

    OK, I think - the leak started before the fuel pump ever was removed. I am not following on how to repair if indeed it is bent but then I can be dangerous and are you saying replace the fuel line just in case and it a easy inexpensive?

    Fuel Leak

    I have had the tank up and the bike running, no apparent leak but then you will see drips coming from the rear side of the edge of the fuel pump and tank.. the double gasket seal may work but I'd like to fix the problem vs just making work... something about fuel and hot motor between my legs

    Fuel Leak

    I thought the same thing, but she does not have that golden glow the leak appears to be coming from (as you sit on the bike and the tank is still on the bike) on the back side of the fuel pump on the left side - like 11:00 still think a new hose?

    Fuel Leak

    I'll give some history and where I am at now and not sure where to turn. Over the winter at some point I started to smell fuel and noticed fuel leak, very small amount did not think much about it at the time. Took the XX for an update map on the bike when shop reminded me that I had a leak and appeared to be the gasket seal between the tank and the fuel pump and ordered one. I put the thing on and could not get it to maintain the seal, pissed off (thinking I can't get this thing to seal) and took it to the shop and told them to put the thing on. Well next day leaking again. Fuck - ordered another seal just to make sure had them put it on, get a call on Yesterday that all looks good will look at it over night and see whats up. Today in the AM no leak! great finally, shop said they would take it out for a stress test, oh a test ride too see if any leaks appear. Sure as shit fucking think is leaking again. Both the shop and I are lost on what to do next, first thought is it the tank or the fuel pump. If anyone has a fuel pump hanging around that I could use as a test to attempt to help eliminate problems before I go an spend $$$$ on pump or a fucking tank... Any other idea's?
  12. Looks like I am missing a hose? In the picture attached, it appears that is the Overflow hose, is this correct and if so should it just be 4 inches long? Shouldn't I have a Air Vent Hose? bike is a 02 XX I am looking at the manual but it what I am looking at does not really explain where they need to be routed. Thanks in advance
  13. Looks like I have a fuel leak around the fuel pump gasket - when I replace the thing any is there other maintenance I should do while Im in the process?
  14. Just as the title says, looking for a good swing arm, mine has a rub on it, so I'm looking for another one that I can get powder coated. thanks
  15. thats funny, mine did the same thing I have a right one

    Bird is sold

    This is what I am being told as well, the Busa has great potential for gains and the aftermarket cost are much more reasonable than what you could ever think of doing to the bird... Honda sure needs to do something, I am with you not a 14 fan but that Busa sure catches my eye...

    Toilet Seat

  18. Arai Helmets, limited sizes but if it fits a great deal Arai this site has great daily specials, today 5/26 is Helmet day
  19. Used the $16 chain tool and works like a champ! I used my dremel to remove my chain, the push pin is a POS and just used a center punch to remove the pin. For $16 to press the chain this thing works great!
  20. OK, Ill get my G string on
  21. why not, this is going to be just like when I had to change my fuel filter LOL
  22. Is this the first they have come out with the fuel management? So far I have not heard any failures but it is still early in the riding season here
  23. Found a picture of what I was looking for Looks like it's off to go buy another tool!
