that's empty as well Dave but only cos Ive not filled it will have a look at that Stan, to be honest it's the only explaination as to why I cant find any trace.......but why would it do that? we are looking at newer bikes Matt she has got very confident on this and hates going back to the xr125 watch this space lol! don't think we'd even get 130 mpg Chris only 85miles on 12 litres

cheers!

So this bl**dy 500 twin (97 kawasaki er5) is the bane of my life had problems with hydraulic lock due to the petrol tap constantly flowing and the float needle not seating so the fuel filled up the top of the right hand cylinder through the inlet valve so new diaphragm and o-rings for the petrol tap. New float needles, clean and balance for the carbs and in-case of contamination new oil and filters. So the bike holds 16 litres of fuel including 4 for reserve the bike has covered 85 miles and gone to reserve something is very wrong cos I reckon it should be doing at least 130-150ish to reserve at least...............so where is my missing fuel gone? oil sump level looks ok just under max. none on garage floor over night fuel tank sound with no leaks lockable fuel filler sound and not tampered with bike starts and runs fine and doesn't smell excessively rich going to recheck the vacuum fuel tap again for constant flow cos its a know problem on these bikes. OH! and looking in the fuel tank it certainly looks empty! Any help or advice appreciated.

Interesting review Matt, thanks for posting my K5 Bandit headlights are utter cr*p whether on dip or main beam

science

well said mate! good you can keep smiling Dick, hope you get her sorted soon!

Personal opinion Matt but the new one sorry! looks like an over ripe marrow! but the micro serpent I really like just my uneducated 2-penneth worth.

Welcome to the forum Walshy when the warmer weather returns hope to see you on a rideout or two And as Chad says the forum rideout is a great laugh watching Mel get drunk on half a shandy but that was the best barbecue ive ever had courtesy of Ian (madcarper) and Stes onions

Micro

Yes Dick part of, but gave them early cos its been a bit frosty last few mornings! and hopefully its mild for Saturday Mark! have you got your Santa costume yet? me and Alan have but might have to do some alterations (think Alan's doing them cos he's good like that!)

Happy birthday Dave, hope you're having a great day!

Don't know what we'd do without you Chad!!

Don't know the answer Dave but hope you don't wind it up I honestly don't know how you do what you do, what with the new camera club, the forum, B king forum, Facebook, work, rideouts. I get on when I can but struggle with work and home commitments and am guilty of looking in and seeing no new posts so logging out again without making the effort to post myself don't even go on facebook that much now!! ..........maybe its just the time of year everyone's minds are on Christmas and how much debt they can get in! anyway without this forum I wouldn't have met some great friends, had some great rideouts and .....be on Facebook!! so here's to things picking up and the forum rising again!
