hi all, have just overhauled the front calipers on my fzr600r and have spent the last 3 hours trying to bleed them but no success , has anyone any ideas as to why they wont bleed. thanks
hi fella , sometimes if you back bleed the brakes to moisten the rubbers on first application then re beed as normal you may find sucess.try using a syringe with pipe to attach to bleed nipple best of luck !

mine has the same issue. i've installed a 5 dollar on off valve for now until i cna locate a petcock for under 100 bucks. this seems to be working in the short term.
thanks,will need to do this but i think its a belt and bracer issue,still if it works no problem just have to remember to use it thanks again piston bloke

The fuel tap itself might need to be dis-assembled & cleaned.....sometimes the gasket in there turns brittle & develops leaks.....worth a look anyway.
hi fella thanks for the idea , already coverd this angle but thanks anyway .by the way i rebuilt it and still leaks.the spring both gaskets and o ring are all in tack with no apparant damage just wondering if any body else has had similar problems cheers piston bloke

it may be in the prime position. also if its filling the carbs to overflow check the float height and the small needle attached to it. there may be a small piece of dirt holding it open slightly.
hi the tap is in the normal running position facing down.the fuel seeps through leading to the flooding of the cabs i think. i have been led to believe that this is a non spill tank system and no petrol should be leaking through only on demand from the carbs ,thanks alot piston bloke

were both clutching at the same straw you mean...

hi,yet another problem for an yam yx 600 radian.fuel tap works on vac system from carbs.the tap has no switch off position but constantly drips and fills the carbs up to the point of entering the air box and out the overflow.How is this supposed to work as the diaphram and spring and seal are all intact.

Hey there, I'm new to this site so please forgive me if I screw up this posting. I have just purchased a 1986 radian with aprox 27,000 miles on it, it runs great and pulls hard but it has a knocking sound coming from the engine when at idle when cold. once it warms up and is at proper idle speed the knock goes away. You can aslo make the sound go away when cold if you give it just a little gas to bring the idle up. Does anybody have any ideas about the cause of this noise, I was thinking maybe timing chain slap or maybe low oil pressure, although the oil light does not come on? any help would be greatly appreciated.
hi ,I have one of these machines and I suspect its the old clutch rattle,does it cease when the clutch is engadge similar to R1 models as a good friend sats
