Seems a sensible view. Just make sure you don't end up with hydraulic lockteebowbusablaster wrote:So, looking through the box of spares was a Suzuki tap box With "leaks" written on and a used tap in. Having taken the tank off this morning to balance the carbs the tap fitted doesn't leak.
I can only assume that the old tap leaked fuel into the sump and the residue wasn't cleared out until.yesterday.

All drained down, and Oil level seems stable now after a 30 mile run to get it MoT'd yesterday.
Now, do I tax it (on the 28th of the month, or wait till Monday ?

What and waste £7 ??? what kind of a Yorkshireman are you ??? Tax it on Monday the 1st of course
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Hi Terry, the GSX1100 is ready to go, all repainted and looking v nice, but it needs taxing, so I'm waiting till April 1st before I take her out, because as you said, although there's little chance of getting caught, if you do get caught defrauding the government out of 25 pence a day, that's probably a hanging offence

I'm going to a classic car show on Saturday so I've had to tax the car for basically 2 days - and car tax is expensive!

A lot of it doesn't make any sense - I've got EXACTLY the same car as a friend but mine is 3 months older and was registered before April 17 - mine is zero tax hers is £440 every year!!

Well, all is now good with it, having drained the mess that was in there, put in £60 worth of new oil and filter, I changed it again after 30 miles or so. Fresh oil, new filter (another £60) and then a quick ride up to John Warrington's emporium in Malton for a carb service. His meticulous attention to detail and 3 hours work has the bike running a dream, crisp, clean and like a good GS should sound.
