Thunderchild Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Just a long overdue update to maybe help anyone else. I bought a compression tester and was only getting 8 bars on both cylinders (service manual said 12, 11 minimum). I went back over everything that I had previously looked at and it turned out to be the fuel pump. Although it was pumping out fine when I originally tested it, there was no resistance when you sucked on the pipe and I was getting vapours coming through. I think it was maybe dumping too fuel through. Anyway, I fitted a new pump (£65), and she was back to normal again. Problem solved, bike was fixed and I learnt a sh!t load in the process. Thanks to everyone that helped, and I hope this rather long thread helps someone else. Cheers, Thunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
