No, IT's BLEEDIN Expensive

Can anyone tell me please what the correct INTERNAL diameter is for replacement fuel pipes on my 1980 R100RS.

6mm and 8mm seem to be the popular sizes avilable aftermarket. Ideally i want to buy some ethanol resistant pipe.

I went through the same problem recently. After lots or pumping & bleeding I ended up doing what has been mentioned here. - Get the bleed nipple as high as possible - Wedge the rear brake pedal down and leave over night to let any air bubbles move up to the nipple - Then bleed the system again....

Unfortunately, the only numbers on my registration document for my current bike are as follows Engine 6098130 Frame 6098130 and a physical check of frame and ...

Darryl - I think what you will find is there is really only one orientation of the reed and screw because there may be a conflict with the cover and its gasket. You wouldn't want the reed to open facing to the aft of the bike...the air has to turn 180 degrees to get to the exit point. You want a re...
