A question or 2 about my old GSX....
I am playing with the chain on the old girl and I would be interested to know how much slack is too much ...it's at about 3cm !!....and how can you see how much further to travel the adjusters have left ??
It doesn't seem to have any wear (not major anyway) on the sprockets but does sound a little "clunky" dropping it into 1st. Also can anyone give me a ball-park figure on a tune up for her too.....she hasn't been touched in 6000kms !! and has only needed a new set of plugs....even then the old ones were OK to keep as spares once the had been cleaned up !! they weren't oiled up or carboned even !!....
There is a small oil leak coming from the oil cooler ?? on the front of the engine down by the base of the engine ...is possible to get seals for the pipes that connect to the small radiator. It leaks onto the exhaust and makes some nasty smoke on warm-up !!.....it only started to leak a couple of weeks ago and while it isn't alot it would be very embarrassing to get some catch fire !!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated !!
A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)
