as Clive said has it had a good service history ? has it been thrashed and abused ? saying that they are a strong motor. 60K is not high mileage for them. if its cheap enough buy it

Ive drained countless engines of their oil Joseph and that is pretty normal.

the truth !!! your saying people on here are making shit up because they are muppets.

I guess you should enlighten everyone then !

yes, defo use OEM fork seals

them shocks are crap and don't work very well, I'll do you a favour and take em off you.

I have the same setup on my GSX1100, mines a DID 530 O ring.

it'll read right if you take it straight from the coil though won't it ?

sounds odd ???? it should be a vacuum tap unless someone has fucked around with it !!! can you post a pic ?

if they are the ones with the antidive then no one will want them unless someone is doing a resto. ive got a set i dont want.

did you throw a few swear words in as well ? always helps

yep just like the GSXR fighter i built in the 90's only their for show ps, you forgot the twin headlights

ive seen lads put the ZX12 callipers on busa's

I put some on my old GSXR1100 years ago just for the look, no oil went through them though

can't say ive ever had a problem with a worn seat as a new valve fixes the issue. but ive heard of people using some sort of abrasive or cutting tool to clean up the edges of the hole in the seat. might be worth a try ?

are you sure the seats are worn ? the needle (float) valve has a rubber tip so generally its the tip that wears not the seat. have the carbs done a lot of miles ?

the name just come to me, "Tourmax" their made in Japan. Ive used them a few times with no problem so far !!!!!

we know OEM are probably the best if you can afford them but their are some after market Japanese made parts that seem to be ok, but cant remember the name of them right now

feck thats a strange one !!!! is their any chance you have picked up some dodgy petrol and the valve tips have some crap on them ?

improvisation, I like it

yeah your probably right, plusgas and acetone is a good combination with a little help from a heat gun.

I think your gona need some heat Toni, might be seized on the dowels !!!! can you remove the cylinder head studs ? it might help if you can get em out.

no carbs should leak !!!!!! nice job on the tank

it could be the float valve tips are slightly worn and weeping a wee bit, or maybe the O ring on the valve seat. ive seen the O rings go hard over time and start to crack.

I think that pic might get deleted
