I'm so chuffed my poor neglected little 2KR is now running again, it decided to start up and rev at 16k which scared the crap out of me but realised that was because the fuel line was too long and getting in the way! Its not been easy getting to this stage and I've managed to kill another battery so off out later to get another one and book an Mot, still got loads of bits to do to her to tidy her up but will get her on the road then start sorting them out, she looks naked at the moment coz the indicators are fixed to the frame as the fairings are off. I'll get some pic up when I can and keep you posted about the mot. so three cheers for Gen and fingers crossed! gonna try to have a little ride round the car park later <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s -->
I'm assuming by your mention of MOT your in the UK. Congrats on getting it up and running again! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> FZR 2fiddy's are a dying breed... so good to see one resurrected.
Yeh I'm in the south of england. now booked in for mot Thursday gonna get this new battery on later and take her for a spin see if I can remember how to do this motorcycle riding lark! <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> the front brake light doesn't work but gonna see what else she fails on before I worry about that. I'm sure over the next few weeks I'm going to ask about various bits!
congrats on the running bike! As for the front brake light - if you go to the brake, and then look behind it there is a spring attached from the pedal to a small switch. Sometimes this needs to be adjusted - you may be able to just get a spanner and tighten the nut on the spring and then it will work (or perhaps need a spring replacement). This has troubled a few people on this forum (including myself).
