I've got a 2001 gsx750f grey import and the advisory on the mot was the headlights. Can you swap the dip and main connectors around or is it worth forking out on a uk full headlight? also is it worth swapping the dash for a uk one, its already got the gizmo to read mph instead of kph?any help on this would most appreciated and if you know where to get them cheap.Thanks

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.
