So I'm going to whip the chain off for cleaning...
Why not, it's only a 4 step process in my Haynes manual, the sun's out and I've got half an hour doing nothing...
Step 2 - Remove the swingarm. DOH! Well that's a 23 step process... Step 1 - Remove the exhaust. DOH! Hmm, that's another 13 steps... Remove rear shock absorber. DAMN YOUR EYES! Still, only another 6 steps there... May have to remove the fuel tank. OH BLOODY HELL! 10 steps for that. Job done. PHEW! Ooh, don't forget to take the rear wheel off obviously... Ha ha ha ha so that's 79 steps in total. Let's get started. A peg spanner? No. A 19mm hex bar? No. Permatex 1372? Um, no. B*llocks to it. Anyone fancy a pint? |

Why not just get some parascene and a toothbrush, electric is better. Job done...whilst drinking that pint! |

Grinch mate you raise a great point. If I'm taking the swing arm off (I'm not, I'm having a pint, but if) what the heckety heck do I attach the abba stand to? |
