Wicky, Thanks for those tips. I looked at those clutch holders, but went of a universal system [the ones that look like mutant mole grips] as they work on clutches, generators and sprockets. Hadnt thought about the center nut, but you are correct, it is "bruised" into a groove in the shaft...

I managed to miss the storm as well :thumbup: . was out on saturday and stopped at Bikers Clearance world on my way home........had a good rummage about, tried on a few new jackets but didnt buy anything..............anyway, when I came out and there was about 1" of standing water, but it had s...

nice project, I always liked the SS family...................what about making it look like the retro Paul Smart replica that is out now, or an update on the Mike Hailwood replica

As part of my investigation into the Clutch grab, and excessive vibration problems, I plan to do a full swap of clutches from my spare engine to the #1 bike. I plan to swap all the components, Plates, basket, springs, actuation pushrod end etc from one engine to the other. Got my clutch gasket on or...

Been down to Valencia for the MotoGP, and I go out to ride trail bikes down near Malaga most years, but never been out on a road bike please dont remind us about the good roads, the good weather and the fact that motorcycling is e...

I sure feels like it :thumbdown: I try and ignore the cost of the fuel I waste, but the whole new world of 50mph limits "for your safety", and the volume of traffic on the roads, and the fact that the police forces are willing to fund helicopters to "stamp down" on motorcylists m...

+1 on oval sprocket, the steel ones are usualy fairly crude parts compared to teh renthal aluminium, so it is possible that the inner hole is over size or eccentric. only doubt I have is that one of your mails said the you could see the WHEEL run out. if the whole wheel is running out, then it is no...

Don't start the whole gay thing up again

I claim it is the wife's car, but I have to admit I enjoy driving it......now where did I put my hair straighteners

well done, now the fun can start

is this the build up to an anouncement, or an invite for us to say "I told you so".

so have you bought a new one?

new Viper cans fitted to the storm and the other new toy in the background

Could be the spindle is worn under the bearings, was there any witness marks? Take spindle out and roll it on the most flat surface you can find (like a glass coffee table) and see if it is either bent or if there are wear grooves in it. Also after thinking about it, a bent spindle won't make the wh...
