My tail has never been in danger of being hard, that's why I like a bit of air in my tyres.............

That's b****cks!

Maybe if you lived in the ol US, people would try and sue, but if that was the case, no-one would ever post anything on an open forum for fear of someone mis-reading it!

I thought it was a sensible suggestion.

2 ways to sort that; Either a disclaimer or reference the service manual to make it bulletproof in its accuracy.

Or alternatively, try and sue me, I'm skint

IIRC in the distant mists of time, there was once a young impressionable org member who took the tongue-in-cheek suggestion to clean his brake discs with WD40 seriously.

He hasn't posted for a very long time!

(but he definitely posted after his brake disc experience so is alive and well afaik)

And that's the problem. I got pretty well flamed not so long ago for trying to convey some facts that could quite easily have been missed by many individuals. I might as well have pushed the NUKE button from the (personal) response that I got. I have always tried to help folk and take some pleasure from it, but at the same time - I am an enthusiast not an undisputed expert.

All the best,

Garry

Too be honest if you are going to do something that you arent sure you can do properly and it involves brakes, handlebars, wheels etc then DONT DO IT - Ask someone to help you!

We can send guidelines out to anyone who asks for them on our kits, but these kits are basically direct replacement parts so what you do to remove the item you reverse when fitting the item, Suzuki specify all the torque settings and we clearly state that only a qualified mechanic or a competant home mechanic should fit our kits.

We will give you as much advice over email or the phone as you need but if (like one customer) they phoned to ask which way up the top yoke should be fitted we would then have to advise you not to attempt the job and ask a friend or mechanic to do the job for you.

There are thousands of competant home mechanics and good on them for doing the job and getting there hands dirty but there are also thousands of people who need to ask for help when they need it.

By the way the sticker faces upwards on our topyokes, ha ha!
