Not the greatest pic but that looks like a Lufty exhaust.

« Last post by bitsa on May 12, 2024, 10:11:43 AM »Thanks for the suggestion, fuel pressure is steady hot/cold/rich/lean though. Fuel filter was a brand new, quality item fitted by me when I got the bike & tank was previously de-tarred/resealed & had new pump, lines and isolator.
Good thought though, appreciate the input. I've seen that on cars also, usually accompanied by a "whoosh" of air being drawn in when opening the cap.
At this point I'm not sure what I'm saying myself, except for the fact that it currently runs* as well as it's ever done in my ownership & due to other 4-wheeled eye candy occurring I'm pretty well donezo with the thing and may let it go to free up some funds if anyone's daft enough to buy it!

Repair Guidance ~ Off-Site / Re: Speedometer Woes
« Last post by Scott_ on May 12, 2024, 08:46:04 AM »My thoughts would be that it was a coincidence. Yes the speedo and odo use the same electrical pulse, but it splits inside the cluster so one would not have any effect on the other. Even if the odo totally stops, it should have zero effect on the speedo.
If both stopped, I'd look for a loose/dirty electrical connection.
