It's OK putting the big bits on ! It's ALL the nigerly bits that take your time up:(:(:(:p
Cables, brake lines, brake & clutch bleeding & wiring are a pain! I'm glad mine came with braided brake lines, but I'll still have to bleed all 7 lines at some point!

Sorry, didn't mean to pizz you off, I was commiserating with you over your comment about the fish eyes in the tank. I still think it looks great, it's almost too good to give to the missus.

Had this problem when I first got it !

At least you can get at your carb to clean/inspect, I have the same problem with one of my scooters and I need to remove a stack of plastic panels that fit together like a 3D jigsaw.

Good Luck !!

My V-Max was like that when I got it running again - old fuel had created a load of black treacle in the tank, fuel pump, and carbs :rolleyes::mad: . Cleaned the tank with caustic soda :eek: - fuel pump got the same, and the carbs, well ...... Best thing i ever got for cleaning carbs was an ultrasonic cleaner - with the right nasty chemical in, it gets rid of all known dirt/crud/sh*t etc. ..... and quite useful for cleaning all sorts of other junk, oops I mean essential parts:D.
 
I'm back ! well two things stopped it running correctly, 1st was a ME made fault :(:mad::mad: didn't clean the frame/air box out enough :oops::oops: sucked a LOAD off blastin grit into the carb slides :mad: so another GOOD clean then a tin of spray paint to stick/seal any more grit in place :D:D:D the 2nd was/is the battery :mad: the Bike would NOT run for more than 5mins even after the battery had been on charge all night & just manage to start the bike ! so today i took the battery off the caravan & it struck up straight away & kept running untill I switched it off , & struck up first hit of the button :D:D SO NEW battery ordered & a different set of indicators , as the 1s i got wont flash !
