Was new in england. imported in 03. Ive not looked around the airbox, where would it be on the air box?Originally Posted by BASS-TREBLE
You will most likely find that it never had pilot screw covers if it was NZ new. Any holes drilled in your airbox etc?
Congrats on the purchase by the way

Interesting info on the lights
High beam = 9005
Low beam = 9006
Don't forget, the beam is adjustable. Not just the pattern placement either. You can adjust the canister back and forth to accomodate most bulbs. Since you are experiencing poor light output, you might want to try making adjustments to the canister placement.
To clarify a little, the headlight adjustment bolts found in the owners manual are the ones I'm talking about. Each canister has 3 adjustment nuts. The book says to use 2, but if you turn them all equally, you can move the focus or gain more room for the bulbs.

Now confused, manual says bulbs are 51w and 51w/60w. Should both headlights be on when Im on dip?

Nope, just the one.

STEVE!
Hey Robert did you richen the mixture on the GPZ when you threw the k&n in?

Generally it is on the top of the airbox and is able to be seen with the seat removed. I cant remember the size but 30-40mm I think.
It is one of the first things that is done to help the engine breathe so it will be a dead giveaway for mods/jetting.
Pootler
Had a look and nothing. The jet kits seem to come with allen head screws for the float bowls also which mine doesnt have. Ive found a stage 1 kit in aussie so will head down that path. Not intrested in max power output on this one. Stage one is just a tidy up on the stock settings and no airbox mods.

Pic at last. Been to busy riding. Oh I love that motor. Ive not reved it out yet but wow.
Ridin to Work, Workin to Ride
The motors are very cool, huge difference to my SV. B12's are quite nimble bikes for the size too !
Nice one..... I've been on the lookout for some of those crash bars.

Ahem. I hope you are going to update the oil boiler thread. Nice bike mister.
Pootler
Theres an oil boiler thread?
Speaking of oil, what oil is best for these and how often?
Forum whore
Every 6 months or 5,000km's.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
