Chain Adjustment?

Just seeing if anyone has had a similar problem. Putting the bike back to standard as im touring next month, so after fitting back low link pipes and new C&S i noticed that theres not much clearance between underneath swingarm and top of link pipe. So to be honest at the moment the chain is tigh...

Re: Front Sprocket Retaining Bolt

Cheers for the reply.
I fitted the front sprocket last time and it was torqued as per the Haynes.
Just found a higher grade steel bolt to use.

Front Sprocket Retaining Bolt

Front Sprocket Retaining Bolt... Is it just me that always has problems with the dam thing! Managed to nearly shear another today on fitting new sprockets and have done in the past. Not even using enough force, they just seem too soft of a metal or is it just me? :) Managed to fit a similar bolt tod...

Fork Oil Question Again...

Usually use 10w and im happy with it.

Anyone used Castrols fork oil?
They also do a Fully Synthetic version.

Cheers.

Re:

On the 19L tanks, if there is just a screw fitting to bottom of tank then where is the fuel tap fitted? Someone on the SH Forums said that the fuel tap ...

Re: iPhone - Battery life- your views!

Wouldnt mind one of the HTC phone, but i'll wait till prices drop.

Instead of going for a iPhone i kept my N95 and picked up a cheap iPod Touch instead.
Jailbreaked it and use if for everything to be honest.
Battery lasts about 4 days or more and im on it all the time and forvere listening to music.

Re: Regulator / Rectifier Modification

By the looks of it, some sort of universal plug is included. Most R/R's will work to be honest, just make sure it has 5 wires in total (3 for the pulse and a negative and positive). Just that the R1/R6 units are larger and has great cooling fins with the heatsink built in, they dont get hot to be ho...
