Well done Davo I thought you blokes where never going to get to this point, I have been sure that this was the case for months now and hopping around the house for three months won't be that hard on Freddy it could have been worse I have had bloke say that he would ride a pushbike backwards to Bathurst naked with a 12 inch shifter hanging out his arss if I was right before and that would of drawen a crowd if we had not came to a beer agrement for those who came in late read page 2 on the post a couple down fom this one about engine cuting out.
Now make sure the every thing is spotless before reasemblie, check 3 times.

I am not sure that this is a overley large problem now you GTR 1400 types know that you have to pull the pump to bits every now and then just do it ever 30,000 or after whatever K's you start to have trouble, but I am starting to like my BMW more, I have just come home from a couple of hours on the old GTR 1000 and aren't they a lovely old bike they will still be nocking out the K's when the 1400's are on the tip.

I see on the concours forum it has been sugested that you fit a fine mesh filter to the filler spout this is not a bad idear my John deere tractor and Allis chamers dozer have a simlar thing and the filters in those last twice as long as the two Ford tractors that I have that don't. My BMW R1150RT has a fine mest filter about the size and shape of one of my wifes socks that hangs of the intake of the pump some thing like that may help but really now I think now the 1400 brigade have stop relling on Kawasaki Motors Lackies who don't know shit and after 35 years of kawasaki ownership you will never convince me of anything diffrent, you blokes just have to work out a service intervial for your in tank filter I would sugest every 25,000K's pull the tank off and do it then every 100,000 replace the pump that way you will only nead to pull each pump to bits three times and the O rings and such will stand that and rember it is very good to clean your tank out every now or do as I sugested and do it every boxing day maybe, this will most likley not worry those who get all weak and trembley after a bike has done 40 or 50 thousand but it will be important to those who buy the bikes off those poor sapes and work on it and keep it for life as well as those who tend to buy a new bike and keep it a lot of years, remeber I have a Z900 that has done 380,000 k's and I still would kick the tyres check the oil and ride it across the country and if it gave one bit of trouble I would hop around the house for 3 mounths on my head Freddy.
