petrol tap on gsx750s1 Kat

Post by wraith » Fri Oct 26, 2012 3:58 pm

Hi all,
Looking at sorting out the tap on my 750 S1 Kat and when I took it apart (as the diamthram is f*ck) it seems to be very hard to blow/suck air frow the vac pipe, when you look at the back plat (when taken apart) where the vac pipe gos into the main body of the tap it seems to have one more dimthram that you can not get to?

Dose anybody know if there is a dimthram there or not? and as I will be needing a new seal kit will the gsx750/1100et ones fit? as I can not see one on evilbay for a 750s1 Kat.

Cheers all
W.

i messed aound with mine for ages and it was never right.... eventually bit the bullet and got a copy off wemoto.... never looked back since. not a repair, and not the cheapest, but works as it should now and zero stress. worked for me :)

Cheers :) I will have a bit more of a play as I've taken the Kat off the road for winter and using the gsx750 for winter.
