Re: How Many Left?

Indeed, interesting.
There doesn't seem to be too much of a rate of decline but that's a high rate of SORNs.
I'll not be getting rid of mine either. :lol:

Re: flywheel removal bolt

Although I've not had to use one on mine, I'm fairly confident that it is an M20x1.5 Right Hand puller. Demon tweaks has one for a whopping £35 while Motion Pro in the states do one for a lot less. I think this size of puller is common to a fair few bikes. I have a puller set somewhere (used on a C...

:lol: This flying trampoline reminds me of the flying bedstead that almost killed Armstong. I can't see it taking off either way but Top Gear might like it.

Re: Screech on start up

Added to that, I suggest checking out the starter motor for a dry armature end and front gearing - used to get this on stop-start-stop-start courier bikes. While you have this out you can also check the condition of the brushes and the commutator.

Re: done me thumb in now.

Sorry to hear that Alec. A speedy recovery to you. :thumbup:

Oh, I've got my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction operation at the end of the month! Off the bike for a few weeks in July but rather that than not have an ACL at all. Woo hoo. :D

Re: Wobble from front end?

And don't let benny near your front or rear end :lol: :x :lol: :D Especially with a hammer! Benny, are you positive that a properly warped rotor (and not one that has shifted on the float mounts) can be corrected with a well aimed smack with a mallet I don't agree with you mate. As I understand it,...
