Creak, Creak

Post by tattie »

Went to Inverness today and upon my return when parking the bike up, I heard a creaking, I am assuming from the rear suspension linkage.
Is this a major strip down or a simple enough bit of maintanance?

Cheers

Aye, when you put your weight on the bike and if you apply the front brake and rock the bike about.
Plenty of tools :lol: and reasonably competent :? :?

The main tool you need Tattie is a stand to lift the rear off the ground. Not a paddock stand. Once it's up a good set of spanners is all you need to get it apart. Do it sooner rather than later or you could end up with one like mine.
