Re: BITSR1
Maybe the larger tyre? I remember how much fitting a 190/55 changed the handling of the 4xv.

I've had a look inside the 4xv clocks. I don't think it would be too difficult to swap the rev counter - I could probably do it for you, but postage …login to view the rest of this post

I'm not sure what you mean by condensation from the coolant pipe? There shouldn't be moisture in the oil if the engine had benn fully warmed up.

Re: Possible new owner
Welcome to the forum, but it is pretty quiet these days.
I'm trying to buy a mint 4c8 from someone I know, but he can't decide whether to sell it!

Re: spare engine donor FZ1000 fuel starvation
Does it cut out on all 4 at the same time? If so, then it's likely to be electrical, as the carbs won't all run out of fuel together.

Thanks for that info, I might get one also just in case my occasional starting problems are the relay and not the kill switch.
