Hey if they're not already in the engine, would you mind measuring them (L + OD) ? I'm guessing that the GSX 1400 shares the same spring dimensions and i need some really heavy duty ones so maybe a set of Busa ones will work Quote Link to comment

clivegto Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Old New battery went flat and wouldn't charge back up after leaving the ignition on when it ran out of fuel on tick over. Bought agell one like I see on Ross's at Cadwell Park. Too old one off left it for a couple of day's then thought I'll just try the smart charger one more time a d low nn behold after 24 hours it pumped up to full power again. Also made a interference pipe to fit the an 6 fuel takeoff from the tank to stop any sludge in the bottom of the tank getting into the fuel flow. Also found eer bottle tops still in there 4 Quote Link to comment
