A micrometer is the what I used, where it has a pointy bit that can go inside and get an exact measurement. Otherwise you will need to come up with another solution like putting a long nail or screw inside and making a score mark on it. Or you could just grind/cut a bit of the 8mm bar or whatever you are using as a stopper, a bit at a time until it fits snug and you can put the roll pin back in the end bit.

Have good read through the stop mod http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 31&t=19416

and how to set the timing http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=8326

I use a cheap digital vernier caliper, but you can use a steel rule if you stick the 8mm bar into the CCT and measure ho much is sticking out.

You can get them cheap enough on ebay.

Lay in some spare batteries, though, as cold and damp do them in really quickly unless you have a heated garage.
But you can pick up 10 batteries for £4, so just keep a load ready to hand.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Easy to remember if you connect it to a brake caliper :) works the same mechanical way as for the name ;) no need to slap yourself, just get a :beer:
Great info, btw
You never see a motorcycle parked in front of a psychiatrists for psycho therapy. All I need is cycle therapy

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
