Dr rictus front end operation (get buying springs & oil! - SV650.org

11-10-04, 08:17 PM

As several people are already aware (and have already bought the parts), Mark (rictus01) has very kindly offered to talk a group of us though a front suspension upgrade.

The date of Sunday the 24th has been suggested, and will take place in Enfield (North London), as long as...

1./ it's more than 2 people.
2./ everyone has their springs and oil
3./ firm commitment can be made by wednesday (20th) that week.

I hope this date will suit everyone

i dunno about upgrading - my CBR dont really need it.
but i might tag along and see how its done if no one objects.
cant say for def yet tho . . .

Could you not just buy a 10-gallon drum of 15W?

I could be interested funds dependant. Will probably come anyway

Yup, spoke to Mark about this a couple of months ago, and along with Jonboy we agreed on this Masterclass from the almighty Rictus.

I'll be there, just need to order me springs!

I'd be interested.

but can't commit til nearer the time, will there be a limit on numbers attending?

any suggestions as to where to buy springs and oil?

also, what about tools, paddock stands etc, do we need to bring anything

Bugger!

I was thinking "yep - I'll be well up for that."
Then I realised it's the same day as the final Bemsee National race meeting of the year at Brands Hatch, incorporating the MiniTwins (amongst others) and I've asked to Marshal there on the Sat & Sun!

Oh well - Mr BillyC will have to pass on his new-found superior knowledge on me at a later date!! Who knows - I may even get a deal on springs & oil at the NEC!!

P.S. Three cheers for Rictus for being an all-round spanner-wielding good-egg!!
