Have you tried stripping, cleaning and lubing?

Not sure about the tap though... Laughing

aye,
drilled the rivits and tapped in some m3 screws, the seal in the groove around the hole where the ball sits has been dammaged by corrosion from the tank/tap at some stage. it kinda seizes up and then the wife cant get reserve..so, I gota jump in the car and drive to where ever to get the thing switched over...

oh well, thought that a cbr6 one might have been tried at some stage..? Guess they'l be vac taps tho huh

Do a search of the forum, i'm sure i've seen that a fireblade tap fits.

Why not simply run it with the tap set to reserve and get busy with that odometer so you know what it's gonna run out?

Just a thought... Wink
