Seems simple enough, did something similar (but much simpler) to my old XR600

sorry for the fuzzy pics as it was freezing in the garage .
the difference is tiny less than a 1/2 of a mm on teeth spacing so much so they look identical unless you put one on to of the other and even then its hard to see the difference .

Just got back in from a ride over to a friends for his Birthday. A bit nippy out there. :eek2 I had to bumpstart my bike before going over there. It didn't want to start, very slow turning over. I have not been out on the bike for a proper run in over a week, so that combined with the cold weather I think has taken it's toll on the battery. I should buy a new battery but it's just going on the optimate for now.

replaced both the oil cooler pipes as they were rusty chrome jobs, replaced oil and filter, ran it up and fitted the new single seat cover.

since getting back from spain, i've done bugger all to the bike, and its now covered in an inch or so of snow :(
but i had lots of parcels waiting for me on my arrival, don't ask why, but i continue to stock pile parts, i managed to nab a very nice pair of race low level exhaust off of ebay, for a reasonable price, plus lots of other bits and bobs, i'm calling them late xmas presents to myself.... :D
because my family are a bunch of bike haters, i never get any bike related gifts :( :( :( :(

That Ohlins keeps starring at me, but I thought wombles it, why waste money on an old bike, If Jenson Button can drive on bald tyre's in the wet throughout his karting days, then I can ride around with a sh1t shock :lol: I'm now looking at an IPhone 4s, I desperately need a new phone that has internet access. I've never had one.

He would have to take the wall down for that. Have you seen the size of his back door, I'm surprised Marty can get through it :lol: :lol: (sorry mate) :lol:

I reminded him of that today when I went over there. And I'm not working on his bike in this weather either. It's bad enough I need to do some stuff on my bike shortly. Mot in Feb :eek2

You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrists for psycho therapy. All I need is cycle therapy

I thought that would get picked on. I did wonder about that as I was writing it, but it's allright in the the context it's been used. It's snowing again in London so wont be going out anywhere. I did charge my battery up yesterday, seems it's not faulty and just needed a good charge. My alarm drains it over time!
