bit suprised the plunger isnt protected at all and that it faces all the crap from the chain!!!

just to let you all know I took off the sprocket cover and underneath it was caked. I removed the plunger which was covered in chain gunk and cleaned all around the area, the plunger and the cover.

Refitted it, did 25 miles and had no problems at all.

Many thanks

only rode for no more than 2 miles before it did it.

do you need to drain the oil, Ben?

I use a scottoiler! Could it be caked then?

Nope thats fine.

I did find a thread which kinda sounded like this where one of the guys on here changed the clutch springs to ebc ones?

Could it be this and is it an easy job? Also where would i get them from?

Hi, Went out on the bike today, pulled up at some lights, they went green so went to pull away as normal but it snatched really harshly twice. It then did it at another roundabout. Gearchanges appear normal / not slipping etc. Any ideas? Its certainly not safe like this!!! It was ok on run out. It w...

just leave them in a square at a predetermined time for the public to 'judge' them. Fu##ers. They come here teaching/preaching the karan (dont even know if Ive spelt it right and dont care - why should I have any respect for them when they dont to us), claim allowances and housing that you and I are...

beauty. i was looking for one of those but couldnt find one any good!!!

B&Q sell alloy either in strips or sheets. Ive just bought a strip for mine as the wrp pipes I received (sh) have mounts to the rear mudguard..don't fancy that! And it looks a bit agricultural!

I've had 2 rsvs and a falco. Only problem I had on my 52 mille was warped brake discs fairly regularly. The factory was a fine bike. To me, the design and quality was well above any ducati and on par with japs. Did a lot of miles on the milles too! Better than the falco for comfort strangely.

Need to change original rears for smaller ones that will be lower to fit some cans. Anyone have any preferences? Did you change front too???

and to top it all, if your posty knows most of the time you won't be in, he might even leave your parcel at the po and just drop the card through! Eh?? WTF do we pay for eh??
And they want us to sympathise about their re-modelling. Privatise I say. Bloody useless.

Wonder if this post will dissappear too?! Anyway, upon pulling away I seem to occassionally get a strange screetch. Dunno how to describe it apart from that! Seems to be at the beginning of the drive. Also when its hot and ticking over, say at a junction, it momentarilly stops, then carries on. What...
