A bit of brain storming has made me wounder if I could use the tank breather as drain from tank cap? Would be possible if you modify the cap outer ring by taking off the part between tank as cap that has the rubber, and let cap just breath thro the hole from inside cap outer. Like tank caps before. The system is to not letting out petrol gases in hot weather, but as I live in a not that hot climate should not be a problem. Only problem I see is the breather tube is smaller diameter thro perhaps not a deal breaker as you can see the hole better whit cap open compare to the orginal drain and if the bike stands in rain on side stand the drain will not happen before the bike stand up. Hmmm

If I recall right I dropped the orginal forks as much I could whit a marginal for flex that the front wheel didn`t hit the engine, and that was 13mm if I recall right, so quit a bit! But steering was super fast!

I do have to check then! I actually just did put the new on top on the old and did look alike.... 🤞

No riding this month or next for that matter 😬

The reason I change the fuel cap is the old one is hard to open as the key is broken inside the lock The design is slightly different but fits, need to find a few matching bolts through as different looks So slow progress but still some

Well, the bike did feel like a good alternative as I inspected it... Didn't have these issues then...oh well. As I spent a bit more time inspecting the bike, looks like I was wrong that the fluid on front clipper is brake fluid, it's not, it's most likely fork oil! So this makes I have 3 set of forks that needs to be done 🙈

Well contacted the sell company, a one man company, and he is not willing to whit draw the trade I did as he doesn't have the KLE500 anymore, but offered to pay back the in between money to let me fix it.... Well sure better than non.... But ideal would been to get the KLE trade in value also in cash and let him have the Bandit back..... Oh well....

Well some more recearch done. The smaller tube it attached to the rubber inside fuel cap and it's the breather pipe, As blow in the small tube air comes thro. The bigger tube, after taking the plug out, if you blow into it you hear air comes out inside tank! This should not happen, as fuel cap removed there is a plastic cone in it! And this is not a OEM part! As you blow in the bigger tube air comes out from hole the cone was in, so it's the drain from fuel cap, but if you put a finger on the hole you just hear air comes out inside tank, so clearly this is a repair to fix a drain tube leaking inside tank, bummer 😞. Well have to see how shop respond to this... And it's not all! As I happen to look at other brake caliper there is a sign of a leak, no drops on flor yet but fluid in between rubber brake tube and pressed banjo. But no leak as you pull brake lever and put pressure in system, weard! Starting to think bike might need to go back to shop and money to my account.....

Did feel smell of fuel as I did go down to garage today, sadly the Bandit 600 had started to leak fuel from carbs Leaking from both connector pipe as one float bowl. So not that good start whit the Bandit, bummer. Seems the fuel tap is leaking thro so it needs a rebuild kit, have to see if carbs needs to be taken off to... As I did take of tank and put it in position it doesn't leak, it didn't go smoothly, the 2 pipes that attached to bottom of tank, one smaller (tank breath pipe) as bigger (drain from fuel cap) the bigger didn't just come along from bike so had to take it off tank, and it was full of water! Well as I later found out, it was plugged! Mostly I wounder why! Hopefully the pipe inside tank has not a hole.... hopefully just a person that doesn't know what he is doing that been working on the bike, but even that tough is not so nice... The good thing is that as I bought this in a shop and contacted them and they will pay the fuel tap rebuild kit and if anything more they want to know so promising that way...

A new temp sensor came today for the CBR600F2 As the temp meter didn't show readings last summer so tough it's good to change

Some stuff came in mail today
