I've got a 2001 gsx750f grey import and the advisory on the mot was the headlights.

suzuki bandit runking issue

Hi new to this so would appreciate the help if possible. Right I have a 96 mk1 suzuki bandit its had a fill service 2 weeks ago but prior to this and still afterwards is a problem that is very annoying. The bike starts and runs fine until I try to open up the throttle at which point its seems likes its dumping aload of fuel into the system to which it cant burn off so the bike stutters and then the power kicks back in and it shoots off. Could anyone shed any light on this issue thanks.

VT Shadow - Compression

I%X92m refitting the cylinder head on a VT Shadow 700c V twin OHC. The 700c was modified for the USA market and imported to the UK.

At TDC there is clearance at the inlet and exhaust valves but as I torque the camshaft housing the gap closes and all valve springs appear to be compressed.

Indicator issues

I just recently replaced my panels on my bike and had to change the indicators from one panel to the other. They now are having issues. I can operate the rhs indicator but not the left.

Hey, I've just had the chain and sprockets replaced on the blade and seem to be getting more miles to a tank.The way I see it, one of 2 things is happening: 1. My reserve light is broken2. Having new stuff on the bike means it's more efficient, which means I'm getting better mpg. Normally the reserve comes on around 120 miles, but I managed 135 ish before getting to a petrol station (still without the light coming on) - I haven't had a chance to ride round and round until the light either comes on or the petrol runs out yet, so ...
