R1 E2 Fuel leaks and failing rubber - Fuel tap rebuild Yamaha R1 5jj

[@stuwhite1969]

Nice job, what did you think of the quality of the all balls stuff, not heard good things about them ( all made in china)

[@W1DO]

It was OK, I have used head bearings and stuff from them before. They all worked fine. Nothing particularly special though. I'd use their parts to replace old & worn-out stuff again though, but if there were genuine manafacturers parts available at a reasonable price I'd use them instead.

Drain the tank first I’m assuming? Will it leak if I flip it upside down?

[@W1DO]

Mine was almost empty and I think I folded the fuel hose over and put the tank at an angle so the fuel left in it didn't have an easy way out (via the filler cap or the feul line)

My R1 tap seems to be seeping fuel from around the outlet stub🙄 Guess i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new tap for £127😲😳

[@W1DO]

Ouch 127 quid. Might as well try and fix it first though... as long as you don't spill 20quid of fuel doing it :)

@@W1DO I have bought new seals. But I think these will just stop it coming out of outlet, not around the outside of outlet where it exits the tap body🤔

[@mellowr1]

​@W1DO well, I'm trying this again😔 still seeping fuel. Seems to be an issue with the round o ring. Fitted new one, it somehow leaked. Refitted old one, ok until I turned tap off again. So new o ring number 2 about to go in🤔failing that it's gonna be a £127 new tap😢
