moly disulphate powder, so I bag me some from China for £6.00

Moly Disulfide in Chinese translates to "slippery Rhino horn", it's great on splines and will do wonders for that animal attraction Bricks are so fondly known for. Nice job making your own lube, can't wait to hear the reports. ;)

Hullo.
My k75c has these,but when I took the wheel off,it all went 'twang' and popped off.
Anyone got any pics of how it should look please,as I took the actuater lever off too without marking it. I did look in the brake section of the repair guide,but could only find stuff to do with rear calipers...which I don't have.
Thanks.

I think that was one of the biggest ones next to air leaks. Inside the throttle bodies were completely black with years of grime build up. It starts and runs(idles) at a higher rev than I would like, but I’m guessing that now everything is super clean, the high revs are probably been where it’s been tuned dirty. I also cleaned the maf, so I’m guessing that it’s giving a better ‘air pass’ reading(?).
I havnt balances the throttle bodies yet, so that should help things.

I have a Clymer manual, some times it describes things well, and sometimes not. I think it’s best to have a Haynes and a clymer for cross reference. You got a pic of the set up please?0

The shoes seemed ok, so I roughed em up a bit. There was no ‘ rubber damper’ in there. I guess that got lost in the sands of time. Brake works ok though.


Thanks all.

duly noted. Thanks Johnny.My overactive mind is just brimming with questions to ask you wonderfully, wise people. I will try to contain myself, as I only seek knowledge on something Zi have not much idea about.

Today I learned the hard way not to poke one's phone into a nearly full tank to video the return line. The video is OK, the phone is soaked with petrol and the display became somewhat discoloured. Fortunately it is accident insured :)

The reason I have gone into such antics was to see why is there the loud hissing noise that annoyed me for a long time. There is no return line down to the fuel pump and the petrol from the solid pipe end is hitting first the 'burrito' and the wall of the tank. I was just wondering, if anybody cut that line shorter, as it is not connected to that collector thing (the burrito) it is facing sideways and there is no barb at the end? See the video, sorry for the shaky end, as that was the moment I have realised, the top of the phone is taking it's petrol bath :)
mate! Not clever putting an electrical device into fuel! You should be glad your still alive!

There's a lot of weirdness in that tank.  Is the burrito that silver thing? What is it? Is it tapping against the tank making the noise?

Maybe divert the fuel away from that area by attaching a hose. Maybe throw the burrito away.

You don't want to do that because it helps with the fuel mileage.

After all, everyone knows that burritos give you gas.

Wow that's clean,  I can't even get mine clean with oven cleaner. Did you have any difficulty with the lower triple clamp bolts,  or tips? I will when I eventually get to it.
