Buy another one.Mav617 wrote:Took one TRX in for valve check/adjustment, fitted some paddock stand bobbins to the other so I can use the same fittings on the stand for both bikes. The more I mess around with the spare one, the more it is becoming the one I want to use. Half the mileage of the current one, and if I raid that one for the wheels/tyres, front fairing, the blue spot calipers and the R6 shock (all easy to do) it might be the better bike. But the frame is tattier, snapped exhaust stud needs replacing, requires an MOT...decisions, decisions........

Good work fella. Anyone use/recommend brass nuts for the manifolds?agentpineapple wrote:torqued up lots of bolts, removed battery for charging, put fresh brake fluid in the rear brake and bleed it, loosened off the 4 exhaust nuts, so I could fit the rear header to the main header, then did them back up again. just need to sort out one of the pipes under the tank, put some fresh coolant in it and it'll be ready to fire up....
