just de-restricted my GPz550

[Milo]

well it sounds growlier and runs like a fucking balistic missile!
only prob is it will only run when the fuel tap is in the 'prime' position, i think it opens up a valve to let the fuel into the engine quicker when you've run out. on the main setting the bike acts like it's run out of fuel. slower idleing revs and give it full on the throttle and it goes to stall.
i think i may have trapped one of the tank vents putting the tank back on.
any other ideas?
Gonna have another poke around tomorrow in the light (damn council garage, no electrics or water :()
cheers

By the way the your old NSR's going a dream we will have to meet up and U can see what kind of a paint job has been done as it's now in rossie colors, if U like I can e-mail U a pic cant remember UR e-mail address.

Rikers? where's/what's that?
sorry, prob just me being slow!
my e-mail addy should be on my profile. if not it's venom_freelancer@hotmail.com I'm also on MSN with that addy.
after looking at your avatar i've tried to find more pics, even looking at your site but with no luck.
My GPz was restricted to 33bhp because of the license laws. within the first 2 years of passing your test you're limited to a 33bhp bike, unless you're over 21 and can do the direct access course on a bigger bike.
So i had to pay a whole £250 for four skinny badly drilled pieces of ally that were shoved between my carb and engine. well okay, the certificate of installation's worth more than the actual restrictors (to me anyways!)
do you know Purley tescos? maybe we could meet up in the car park, maybe even tomorrow afternoon/evening? I'll be sure to bring my digi-cam along!

cheers for the help, but i've already worked out the prob. the other short pipe coming off the tap was, i thought, a vent. too short to go anywhere but i noticed a clip mark around it so studied further and found out where it goes. good old haynes manual :)
