    Beware shite needle float valves, many non oem leak badly

    Fit mikuni or wemoto valves, then set up a remote tank hooked to your carbs on a bench to make sure no leaks

    Ive seen new valves leak at 40 mins under load like this

     

    To reset float heights alter the tab the valve hangs on. Best to youtube different ways of doing it, ideal to have a manual for correct float height 

     

    However if it wasn't wrong before it cant move on its own ... 99% of leaks come from cheap after market needle float valves, always the same problem

    Yes I've done loads, problem is it doesn't come out complete, as Swiss Toni has confirmed sump off oil filter off breather was off already and its out

    I can't remember what I had to do, but I also recall removing the casing on top (4 bolts) of the head...the one the air filter pipe connects to...gave me that extra bit of clearance. Im half wondering if I managed to get mine out with the sump on in fact

    Well ... it's sorted! All you guys that suspected the battery, were spot on! For all the bastard thing was showing 12.7V! Anyway, as I'd just bought a new battery for our lass's car, I decided to hook it up to the bike before I fitted it to her car. Bonny Lights back! Turned over a bit sluggish, though! Stripped and cleaned starter solenoid, starter motor and battery terminals. Cleaned the main earth on the back of the crankcases (could Suzuki have made it any more awkward to get to?), and re-fitted it. Hit the button again, and cranking speed back to normal! :banana:@duncan Same symptoms as you, excluding reverse polarity! Battery showing 12.7A. Soon as ignition switched on, voltage drop to .7A recovering to 1.9A. FUBAR'd then! Bearing in mind FBJ's scary new  battery experience, what's decent gear, and what's to avoid?

    Cheers OSSer's! (y)(y)(y)

    Make sure you vaseline up those bits you've cleaned, stop the corrosion coming back

    Try swapping in a working battery from another bike.  Unloaded battery voltage can be misleading.

    Was going to suggest the same. I had the same thing once with a battery

    I hate this stuff! Went to turn the Blandit over today. Ign. on, clutch in, hit the tit ... and got that sound we all dread. 'Phuttt'! Everything dead. No idiot lights ... nothing! So, main fuse, I thought. Nope! Changed it anyway, still nowt! Removed, checked and cleaned all fuses in fuse box. Still nothing! No burned wires. No 'Magic Smoke'. Just ... nothing. Where to start checking? Any ideas? 

    I hate electrics!!!

    Do you have an optimiser? I like them because they keep it charged and let you know if its fooked.

    I too would start with battery, loose connections etc dont start from doing nothing, though corrosion does of course.

    Sorry chaps, I've led you on a wild goose chase. Yes the tab at the back is for the mud guard. Trying to remember what the issue with my box was. I think it had an extra tab at the front of it, I remember it had an extra tab that stopped me from being able to locate the box in its rightful place, possibly at the front of it. I remember it was identical apart from this extra tab - possibly from a later model perhaps?

    H model battery box,it doesn’t list an alternative for F or G models but I can’t confirm this only the H as this is what I have on mine,I assume the G is the same?

    @Swiss Tonimy "G" box had a mount sticking out the bottom - I remember now, so it hit the frame. I gave it away to a member on the previous site. Wonder why it had the extra mounting?

    Bike was silver and purple. Import or UK model? I just bought it as bits for spares

    @wsn03Can you post a picture of the battery box, just curious! 

    Hi mate

    Battery box in situ is far too difficult to see anything, I checked last night 

    What i do know is that it has one less mounting lug than a G, but I need to take it out to show you.

    I'll check on Fowlers for a picture tomorrow

    F:

    Flush tail light

    Belly pan that goes away from the wheel at the bottom

    Twin seats (red or blue)

    Different vents on upper fairing

    Smaller swinging arm

    Battery tray has one less mounting point

    I think that's the full list
