Some of you may have spotted the fundamental error in the above -
unlike sensible kawasakies, the fuel pump is part of the tank, also
unlike kawasakies, the GSXR primes the carbs when you switch it on. If
you switch it on with the fuel hose disconnected, you get petrol pumped
out, lot's of petrol. If the hose is pointed skywards and slightly
pinched at the end, you get a huge fountain of petrol that covers you,
the bike, and most of the garage...
Heh. So easily done.
I did have a Thought in similar circumstances.
The Thought was: "if I were to fit a set of extension hoses, I need
never attempt to remove a fiddly rubber cap by touch with two
fingertips whilst hunched like Quasimodo over a motorbike ever again".
Unfortunately, I had this Thought *after* I'd put the incredibly
fiddly end caps back onto the TL's vacuum hose stubs and reassembled
the inlet trumpets, sensors, airbox, etc.
