pull harder

the inlet rubbers harden with age ..

push the carbs down and spray wd40 around where they go into the stubs, then resort to brute strength :)

i know its probably not the recomended thing but i got a long screwdriver and levered the carbs off, put the driver on carb housing and pushed the screwdriver against the frame

Cheers guys,

Pulled them off, just seen your posts, The Lewis method works lol

All is good.

The metal pipe from the coolant pump is a fiddly little C*NT to undo, then i removed the dynamo/generator thingy and it was jammin.

just gotta figure out what else to remove before i take the lump out.

Peace

If a driveway is somewhere proper then yeah its pretty cool. Unless it rains, gets uber windy, or dark :(

Im looking for a garage to rent nearby, but no joy :(
Its interesting actually seeing everything that makes the bike hoon. I just hope i can put it back together :pmsl :pmsl

Its it safe to jet wash the radiator with the back facing me leaned up against the wall (like a hooker) to get the crud out?

Looks like this could be an interestin project :smt003
First thing i thought was that rear disc is more rust then metal!!!!!lol

Zimm was there a thread on how to mod the L frame to take the Zx6r lump? Tried a search but couldn't find anything...
