it's the GSXR that needs a barrel, someone just put one on TM for me, but he wants $60 for it.

sorry thought i posted in here that i had a key made from my barrel, only cost me $35 with 2 keys, Lockshmith says the barrel it's self is shot, and it's no wonder i lost the key. my key is now on a small chain with a clip on it to attach it to the bike when i'm riding, if it comes out worst it can do is move 25cm

i know this has gone off topic, but it save cluttering the board with random threads.

pulled the GSXR to bits today trying to get the tacho working, turns out my tach is dead. but when i pulled the fuel tank off what did i find???? my bloody key!!!!!!!

now comparing it to the key i had cut from the barrel they are no where even close!!!! think the one i was supplied with was and old garage key....

anyway bought a 2nd hand tacho ($60 for the whole cluster) and it's working. idle is below 3k (lowest tacho will read) so i'm happy with that.

sounds about right, she's a high revving wee unit you've got there. so 3k is about right.

According to the owners manual I stole off the internet, the correct idle speed is 1500-1700rpm, which is bloody hard to set on a tacho that starts at 3k!

yea takes a small twist to get a reading on the tach.

Just read this thread. First thing that popped to mind was that your key would be under your tank. Bit late for that advice now though.
