Managed to wreck all the pistons when removing them but I had planned on changing them all anyway...what I hadn't planned on was them being £23 EACH!!....wish I had known that before I went crazy on them.

Anyway, just waiting on a replacement fuel valve and I am ready to try to start her up....fingers crossed!!

It works.

Have seen it done on Brembo's and it rescured them

Are those forks on backwards or is it just me?

No, they're backwards.

I'm sure he'll notice when he comes to fit the front mudguard

Eh yeah.... That was on purpose....you know..just to see if people were actually paying attention.

Did you need a special tool to get the swing arm off the frame btw?

22-02-12, 07:23 PM

Yup but I made one out of an old socket and a dremel. I bought one for the engine adjusters, it was £12 from eBay.
