    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    The older, manual fuel tap bikes just have different heights for the pickups.

    I know that the FZR will go over 200km before reserve, so to avoid build up of water, dirt etc at bottom of tank I run on reserve till about 200kms and then change it over to use it as normal.

    Saes anything building up

    Stir it with a metric shifting spanner or a metric upping tool

    What a load of bollocks! There's no way that would work!
    Next thing you'll be trying to tell us the world is round, or even that the ACC levies are fair!

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    Sounds similar to the dickhead we told to let his tyres down once a month and re inflate them to get rid of the 'stale' air. He did.

    Aint it funny how the truth explained badly comes out so totally fucked up??
    Theres a strong argument for running a bike on reserve once every few tankfulls.
    The point being that any water will end up down the bottom of the tank.better to suck it through the system mixed with good gas than find out one cold lonely night how a motorbike has issues running on h2o

    But hey i prefer the answers above
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
