The NSR rear makes a squealing noise on the initial press of the brakes but then goes away.

Re: oil leak

seat collapsed

sitting in the car earlier, heard a click sound like when the seat locks into position but the bottom of the upright section has collapsed and has no support like the passenger seat.

can this be fixed, how do you take the seat apart to have a look.

Re: cold start problems

well today i started it from cold and the idle was rough, i found that if i reved it, it would just cut out but if i just let it idle it would eventually smooth out and run fine.

i've also noticed if its left to idle for long time when warm i can start to smell petol fumes.

Re: cold start problems

someone told me it might be the coolant temp sensor, telling the ecu the engine is warm so it ends up not putting enough fuel in when cold.
