Congratulations Sean

Nice one Sean - dont forget with great power (on an SV??!) comes great responsibility!

My riding is a lot different to whenever I was last on a rideout. I ridewithin my means, but I'm also a lot better now

Ok it's stupid question time again folks, please forgive me!!!!

Im replacing the chain and sprockets next week and whilst i was just having a bit of a fiddle (with the bike!!) i thought i'd take the front sprocket cover off and have a little look underneath just to make sure there werent going to be any nasty surprises.
The problem is this - how on earth do i get to the bolts to unscrew them?? I cant get a spanner in there and havent got a socket long enough and narrow enough to fit in the recess so now my brains gone to mush and i dont know what to do

Answers on a postcard please to.....me!!!

I just did that job on my bike Kellojo, I am sure I used an 8mm 1/4" drive socekt to get in there.

Yes, unless im missing the obvious in the garage we havent got any 1/4" sockets, i'll be having words with my OH when he gets in from work around 3am and be telling him its just not good enough!!
No 'nookie' til i get the correct tools

Anyway Davy, where in cambs are you? I dont recall seeing you in these 'EAR' parts before (like my pun? )

5 hours of biking today And pretty much managed to avoid rain too. Full power is so much better. I don't go much quicker, but I can overtake easily, and it accelerates- which is an entirely new sensation

And it does sound rather good hammering it up to 10k rpm..

Near Peterborough here, have been on ride-outs last year, but was made redundant at xmas and just about getting back to noraml here now, so bike is having money spent on her again..lol
