You're a champion technical advisor but I'm concerned you have too much time to kill.
No I have those, I'll have to take a photo tomorrow and show you which ones are leaking.
Looking
like the tubeswith the revving up problem because I was quite confident I'd cleaned out the pilot jets and on re-inspection I'm still confident I have.
Best place for tubes, Ebay?
If I have to understand, don't bother to explain.

That's the thing. Life's too long and everyone wants you to do stuff.
Keep on keepin' on.

Still plodding on with this when time permits.
So, how does the front brake light switch come out of the lever?

For what it is worth....
I run Pirelli Diablo Rosso III's on my FZR.
INCREDIBLE GRIP! If you aren't throwing sparks.....YOU'RE NOT LOW ENOUGH! The Pirelli's grab FANTASTIC.....NO worries when the sparks are flying!
Not sure if they offer these tires in the UK but they are properly priced and I don't believe I'll ever buy anything else for my FZR

Definitely, just a shame the winning bidder hasn't contacted me and hasn't replied to my messages.

Well done Mark.
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
