Quick question, thanks for this, bought an er5 recently, runs spot on it’s a cafe conversion that’s someone’s done a lot of tinkering but no history and I’m an all year rider so want to be ahead of the game for when it fails not if, lol. How would you know if your fuel tap has failed? With your set up, and the original. Does fuel leak out from the housing itself? Or? What are the symptoms ? Cheers
@deepspace_motorcycle
@deepspace_motorcycle 2 ай бұрын
Nice one on the purchase! I always thought the er5 makes a lovely cafe racer. It's a cracking choice for an all year rounder, too. I was lucky that my original petcock never actually failed, but I was so paranoid that I fitted that precautionary measure as I read so many warning tales. From what I could gather online you don't get much of a warning until the tap has failed and fuel has overspilled into the air box and contaminated the oil itself afterwards. I used to keep an eye on the oil inspection window. Might be worth a delve on an online forum with that question; there must be folks that have found the hard way! The other precaution that I took was to fit a voltmeter (simple digital readout on the dash) just to watch for voltage spikes when running as I know the rectifier/regulator is another common fail on them.

No it's the original, but I had to get a bit creative after I had a bit of trouble removing it. The metal bracket underneath the arch is now held tight by the two wing nuts and it's had a coat of tough acrylic paint that makes it look a bit likes it is made of fibreglass

Hey, yes the jacket stands up really well. I used it through quite a mix of weathers and eventually in some major downpours and it didn't let me down at all. Yes, I didn't make that clear in the vids the belt does move round if needed but where I'd put in that little catch clip on the end to take up slack i liked the buckle to be centred. NOt really an issue just me being picky! I have since sold the jacket when I was trying to scrape in some pennies, but I'd definitely get that one again if I got the chance.

Nice mod. A previous owner of my er5 simply replaced the oe petcock with a manual on off tap with the result that I have no reserve function. The one snag with your tap is that it's on the throttle side hence difficult to turn when you inevitably ride off having forgotten to turn the petrol back on! The tap on these is identical to that on the gt550 (and probably other kwaks for that matter) but this problem seems specific to the er5. Strange.
@deepspace_motorcycle
@deepspace_motorcycle Жыл бұрын
Yes it's odd that it seems to be specific to the er5 .... Character I suppose right! Does the normal tap completely replacing the petcock work ok then? I'd be worried about removing the vacuum element of the system as these bikes don't have a fuel pump. I didn't try it that way as I thought it would be like running on prime the whole time but thank you for confirming it does work! Agreed on forgetting to turn on! Always seems to start to flake out at the worst moment when that happens too 🤣

@@deepspace_motorcycle I've been thinking about this and all these kwaks have the same petcock but don't have the same carbs. And that's where the fault must be. If the vac valve fails on the gt550 you don't even notice because the float valves do their work. Yet a float valve is so simple how the h could anyone design it badly? When i used to have Superdreams they had plain on/ off/reserve taps and you relied exclusively on the float valves, never a problem. You were meant to turn off the petrol as a precaution but nobody ever did so. Same with the Jawas i own now. Am thinking of installing an after -market inline diaphragm but there's not much space in there hence your tap on the other side.

Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one of my all time favourite books, but if I were to recommend it to anyone I'd make sure to mention it's more a philosophy book with motorcycles in it, than a book about motorcycles. Lucky for me, I love both philosophy and motorcycles! I also really related to the narrator and the way in which he thinks about people and the world, but I've read a bunch of reviews that said they couldn't relate to him at all, so I guess it's not for everybody. I've also read The Motorcycle Diaries and although it's a bit slow at times I really enjoyed it. I think at one point Che says he left in search of adventure and matured into a social being and I think that's a perfect description of the book. Another one I would recommend is The Perfect Vehicle. It's one of few motorcycle books written by a woman, which I appreciate, as well as that she talks about rider anxiety and getting over it. I also remember really liking the part when she described what it feels like to ride a motorcycle - the rumbling of the engine, the wind... I don't remember the words exactly, but the author is a writer by trade, so it was very impactful. Anyway... Really cool video!

Hey thank you for watching! The tap I put on doesn't bypass the vacuum tap as such, it sits between the existing vacuum tap and the carbs, just for peace of mind for me in case the petcock vacuum tap fails. Essentially, all I did was uplug the fuel pipe going out from the carbs off the petcock and run that into this new on/off tap. Then I got some 8mm inside diameter fuel line and ran that from the new tap to the petcock. This way I leave the petcock in place and just turn off the new tap as required. Hope that makes sense!

It is! You would love it Charlie. Really good mix of bikes and you can be sure someone will be there most days throughout the year. They do some great grub too!

Great vid Stu. Really helpful for someone who needs a little boost in confidence to do it. If you have a Dremel or similar you can put a little slit in the master cylinder bolts and use a flat head on them.

Thank you Charlie, much appreciated! That's a good plan on the Dremel; I do have one but it's mains powered. I will give that a go I reckon it's the best chance to get the old ones out!

What are you going to do about the master cylinder?

Not sure yet. I'll seek advice on that I think... Maybe I'll end up replacing the whole chamber yet. Anyway, at least it's some subject for a new video one day!

Just a mention about oil capacity to clarify: the 3.4 litres printed on the casing by the oil window is actually the dry capacity. The ER5 manual states capacity after oil and filter change is 3 litres, oil change without filter change is 2.8 litres. Apologies, i meant to reference this in the video but I've done a short on it showing manual etc, here: kzbin.infoMOljERF4Yts?feature=share

Ah no, the 3.4 is from dry. It's 2.8 if you're just doing oil, 3 if you're doing oil and filter and 3.4 from dry/rebuild
