Spot on, see you then.

So I'm looking for this screw for 3 days, no joy, Cargo appears.....................3 mins later....................he's only bloody found it, what a star.

And thank you too.

Where was it in the end?

trapped between the water pump and the crankcase

Quite a common place that one, same as starter motor recess

My Gosh Why did you not tell us about 8 posts ago..................could have saved me a 30 mile round trip and a huge amount of wear on my little magnet

Thought you would have included it 14 posts ago when you gave him some places to start if you had a problem with the trip

helpful post #3

Too easy

The finding the screw as you're the "zxr god"?

30 miles cargo, fook me, you'll need to tell me your short cut.
Finding the screw inside 3 mins wasn't the only success of the trip, I had also lost a sock, the main man found it in under 2 mins, still in the tumble dryer
The moral thus far is........do not spend 3 days ripping the garage apart, don't assume the screw has fallen down the inlets, check every nook and cranny on the bike, but I think most importantly, make sure you live within 30 (shortcut, must be a shortcut) or 40 miles of someone who's knowledge of this bike vastly outweighs your own.
Also I knew where the screw was, just thought if cargo could find it in under 5 mins then he would prove beyond all doubt that he is very much the main man.
Just realised, ridiculous really considering the title of this post, that I hadn't actually checked the drain from the airbox, water and oil pissed out, only problem, I can't find the bung.............cargo, fancy a 50 mile round trip??????????

Just realised, my post above is making cargo look like a right lazy giraffe, it suggests that he took 3 mins to just find the screw, in these now famous 3 mins he ruled out the screw being in the inlets, made me double check the carbs, (okay he's sort of lazy), introduced himself to my dear wife, praised me on how bloody brilliant my bike was, then, and only then did he lie on the floor and with what can be best described as, with a flouirish produce the screw as if from thin air.
My back and shoulder were and still are in spasm, if I had to lie on the (rather clean) garage floor I'd still be there now, so you can imagine how grateful I was when he drove 30 miles to my house, wore out his magnet, (mine only arrived today), dirtied his manx racing T shirt, then had to drive the 40 miles back home.
I'll say it again,


Got a few spare magnets cargo, if you need one I will make the 90mile round trip and drop one off.
