My box of assorted bits arrived from Japan..
First job was to finish the throttle bodies.
Its funny - Kawasaki workshop manual says "replace oring" but to buy the oring, they want you to buy that whole silver fuel pipe with the 2 orings complete. There's a few items like this - luckily you can order through another manufacturer.
New injector seals
Lightly oil all orings before installing!
Next - the pilot air needle Orings.
Again, Kawasaki manual says "replace the oring" but they will only sell you the whole needle, washer, spring and oring combo. $20, when you only need a $1 oring!
Suzuki parts it is again..
Tiny drop of oil on the oring and screw it all in to the TB until its lightly seated.
These will be adjusted properly later when I balance the throttle bodies when the bike is running again..
Throttles sorted and ready to go back on the bike!
