Stu

I've got to find someone to do it yet mate and at the min its looking like a no! I will keep trying this week though

it could just be that the weather is getting a little colder so the oil will be a bit thicker

can put them on the members map TC

also a poorly adjusted chain can make it jump more then usual when put in to gear too if its only when cold i would do an oil change

Some dealers will let you get them delivered to their premises if you getting them to fit them I would get a price on fitting first and get a price for supply and fitting and work out which is best or easiest

then have a look at this http://www.gearingcommander.com/

that sounds soooo wrong yeah will let you know

my TL is a 97 model and has fixed brakes no slides to seize up anywhere im guessing its down to manufacturer on what type of brake system they decide to use anyway lets get this back on topic so check for a seized piston or slides and possibly budget for a rebuild of the brake caliper another thought is make sure the pistons in the caliper retract back when the brake pedal is released as it could be a collapsed brake line stopping the brake fluid flowing back

yeah a lot of the older bikes had floating calipers infact i even think some of the old 4 pots where floating too theres some strange set ups out there i thought your bike was a newish one?

i dont think it will be floating with it been a rear? to be honest i have never seen a floating rear but i could be wrong I thought all callipers floated? I'm sure the ones on my Trophy had movement in them......even the rear. The callipers do the same job whether front or rear and the floating allows the calliper to centralise on the disk so equal pressure is exerted on both sides of the disk by both pads.....otherwise the pressure on one side could distort the disk and cause warping and poor braking. But I could be totally wrong..... ooops sorry i thought you was on about the disk and no all calipers dont float mine are fixed front and rear its usually single pot calipers that float as they only push on one side 2 pot or 4 pot calipers are usually fixed as the pistons centralise

im working on getting the sunday off and if i do you can have a croggy vicki

i dont think it will be floating with it been a rear? to be honest i have never seen a floating rear but i could be wrong

Get it checked out You can have a little bit of warp on it it could still be within tolerance Best to find. if cause too

how cheap maga? i recon it will be exactly the same as the one posted too

wish i could mate but at 25 quid a ticket and fuel costs no can do plus i think we are busy!

they have gone up in price slightly http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... SRC-impact the sockets arent that great i would invest in some decent ones and make sure you get impact sockets as normal ones will crack

Moved to Clothing, Luggage and Accessories.

Does it not require a plug though? 12 volt and comes with crocodile clips and cig lighter plug

you can get an electric impact gun for £20 and they work great nothing like my air tools ones though

so the 190 will actually be pulled in causing the tyre edges to curve in more and reducing the contact patch you also get more grip on the track and a lot less on the road so you need as much as you can get with road tyres

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_wrench its a device that shocks a nut off rather then a constant force on it which can sheer the bolt the impact will undo it brilliant bit of kit every tool box should have one i have a cheapish 12 volt electric one which works ace

carefull with tht one phil if the rim width is too small or too wide for the tyre you can actually reduce the contact patch a 180 tyre is made for a 5.5 inch rim and a 190 for a 6 inch rim if you put a 180 on a 6 inch rim you end up on the end of the tyre really quickly been there done it on the tl and its not a good feeling the rear moving about mid corner on the road

so im not the only one then i think the most important bit about buying tools is do not buy cheap crap!!! theres nothing worse then working with cheap tools that round nuts off and pliers that twist when you grip something and screwdrivers that dont fit properly!! this doesnt mean go buy the most expensive out there a good range is the halfords pro range and the clarke pro too and to add to the list an impact gun is a handy tool to have too

No stick to the size that's on Mr Suzuki knows a lot more about handling then any of us lot on here! Wheels and tyre's are matched to the bike I wouldn't mess with them too much

If they don't leak they are fine I have reused brake seals loads of times
