Work on the Bonnie continues...
Today it was swapping out a warped front disk. Luckily I have a teeny-weeny trolley jack to stick under the frame - ideal for keeping the front end up while the wheel was off.
Just sprockets and chain left to do ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Sprockets were an advisory but if you're messing with the brakes why not do this too...

Back sprocket's barely any worse but hey-ho, it's done now. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

The Bonnie is all done: warped front disk, non-existent rear pads, new chain & sprockets. Hardest part was probably wrestling the rear wheel back on - kept knocking out the spacers Top tip: for flaring soft-links don't buy the cheapest kit on eBay. I had the foresight to buy the second cheapest, much more substantial
All in all a satisfying job done! Probably move back to looking at a Triumph T140's wiring next week. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Managed to knock part number 6 down the cam chain slot. Despite having something shoved down there to stop that specific thing happening, it still found a way past. Many, many bad words were said.
Unless anyone has any bright ideas, I'm pulling the motor and splitting the cases.

Rode it. Saw this as I parked up after getting home from work.

Had a look at the petcock on the old KZ1000:
https://i.imgur.com/kGwqWfZ.jpg?1
ON and RESERVE both operate via vacuum switch whereas PRIME is fuel on regardless (a bypass.) The problem: vacuum switch had failed
Turns out the petcock had been refurbed... with the wrong parts! Luckily the old bits were still kicking about in a tin* and I managed to utilise the rubber from the new diaphragm with the centre/plunger part from the old one.
Seems these petcocks are rare as hens' teeth so I assume the correct refurb kit is similarly as rare.
