    I pulled apart my FZR fuel tap today and worked out why it's so tight to turn, and leak's in the off position..
    Someone had fitted 2 o'ring's to it instead of 1
    Now it turn's off in the off position

    I fitted a new adjustable flash rate, Led flasher relay to my FZR today.
    Tested it with my incandescant bulb's and i can adjust it so it's faster or slower, my indicator's were flashing a bit faster than i liked.
    There's a small philip's head screw underneath
    Took 9 day's from china to arrive, $1.36 including postage

    So I realised today that the CRF50 front tyre was flat. No idea why and upon removing the tube and put it in water, I have no idea how it is leaking unless it is a very, very slow leak. There is rust around the valve so I think that might be the culprit. Also, the valve wasn't lined up perfectly with the hole in the rim so maybe that had some to do with it. Nonetheless, I want to put road tyres on it soon as it mostly gets ridden on concrete and the knobby tyres wear out way too quickly.

    Also made a post in my NSR250 thread.

    picked up a running MC19 tonight, had lined up a 2nd MC19 but the guys mum got involved said he couldn't sell it cheap because he paid too much for it and couldn't loose that much money , I tried to explain to her that it doesn't run so its not worth much... she couldn't see my logic.
