Doesn't look too bad in there. And is this the push rod seal?

And funnel on action after loosening the reservoir lid. @FM feel free to add to the clutch slave sticky if you think any of this will help others. It's seems like a daunting task but so far has been easy. You need to have spare cover gasket too.

An empty milk carton, a pair of scissors... To make a small funnel to catch fluid when draining the clutch. I don't have hose clamp or want to risk damaging a 25 year old rubber hose.

Yes those type, in stainless steel, are my preferred version but there are at least 5 different types, from the slotted types you mention, similar ones with solid bands (we call them jubilee clips), to spring loaded ones and those that are crimped. The type fitted by yamaha bear closest...

A couple of tips when refitting. The aftermarket hose is slightly larger diameter so the original wire clamps are hard to move over the hose. So fit them in their final position and push the hose onto the tails, the clamps will expand. A tiny dab of petroleum jelly (vaseline) inside the hose...

The culprit, perished hose, out of phocus foto but you can see umpteen cracks. Next task, attack the clutch slave...

There's a smell of petrol (or gas if you are in the US) The braided hose from fuel pump to carbs is leaking. You can see it black and shiny, and if you look carefully there is a steam of fuel pouring out. Well pissed off as I replaced it recently, either last year or the year before

Neutral switch is part of the safety cut off. Try starting with the clutch pulled in. Also try starting with kickstand raised, obviously either you are sitting on it or have it on the centre stand.

I will work on it over the weekend but if air was getting in when releasing the clutch lever, if it was entering at the master, it would take a few pulls on the lever for the air to work its way down the hose hence it's got to be entering at the slave. I've ordered the slave seal kit so need to...

See if you can stretch your budget to buy a meter with an oscilloscope, as well as the standard voltage, current and resistance measurements. The DVM in photo below costs about $80 and it shows the signal to the ignition coil when the engine is idling. It shows the coil being switched to...

Yes, forks are from a Triumph Daytona 900. I'm guessing it's Triumph wheel as well. There is some additional parts and machining to fit them. Unless the gear ratios are identical, the speedo may be slightly out.

How about this one on everybody's favourite auction site (Bristol). Can't see any mods from standard.

... and once you spot it, how is it possible?

When ignition is turned on, you will hear the vboost going through its initialisation cycle - there is a motor that opens and closes the vboost valve. It lasts for about 2-3 seconds. You may also hear the fuel pump running, sounds like a click but it should stop once the carbs are full so...

I would suggest following MaxMidnight advice. Also try opening the throttle when cranking over. The pump runs until the carbs are full - you can hear it clicking - and then stops. The engine will idle for 2-3 minutes on the fuel in the carbs without the fuel pump running - I know this as...

... but first hello and hi to all. I stopped posting for a number of reasons, mainly as I wanted to reduce the amount of time I spent online. I had this issue last year where after my bike standing for a while (6 months) the clutch lever has no resistance. I got around it last year by...

.... why are people of all a sudden responding to a post made over 3 years ago? Why did you not post then instead of waiting 3 + years?

Exactly, if there is no power going to the fuse, even if it is intact, no power out. You would set the multimeter to volts range, (20v), black lead to an earth and red probe to measure the voltage. I will take a closer look at the wiring diagram to see how the ABS is connected. (I have gen 1...

how did you check the fuses? did you check there is power going to the fuse, and if the fuse is whole, power on the other side and also power atthe abs unit itself? Do you have the wiring diagram (I assume there is one in the service manual). In case you don't below is a wiring diagram found...
