god it would be pennies in my car its a bloody diesel they are made for pulling
-
Well the weather was deciding if I bring the bike or not but I might just bring it anyway it will cost nothing to pull it behind the car!
-
I have It's all good fun!
-
not easy on the TL swing arm off to remove the shock on mine!! the TL is a different setup the shock and spring is seperate easy to remove if you have the standard one which i err dont i installed it with great dificulty and snapped an engine bolt at the same time all fun and games i have to use an engine crane to support the bike
-
fancy pulling the rear shock off mine for me so i can send it in for repair? i cant be arsed to do it its a right pain in the arse
-
Bloody hell I best set off early so I can get a good spot Think I'm aiming for about 1
-
constant adjustment is two things not lubed enough which if its going rusty it cant be and adjusted too tight your supposed to adjust it with weight on the bike and not on a paddock stand you know
-
if its forecast rain i dont even think i will take the bike!!!
-
if your chain is loosing its tension your not lubing it enough a chain stretches as it wears it wears because of lack of lube i have had my chain on for 5000 miles and its been adjusted once and that was in the first 1000 miles which is the bed in period look after it before it snaps and takes your leg off
-

as above rechrome or new stansions you can get pattern stansions now for the price or rechroming and while your at it get new springs to match weight and oil too
-
as fred says it sounds like a bad earth somewhere
-
is it at a certain rev range? the mixture could be out the needle in the carb might need altering it could be operator error if you planning on doing full test i would learn to live with it and save your money if its not too bad
-
The seal won't have sealed properly the pins will need adjusting They work brilliant but getting them to fit right can be a pain
-
bloody hell ash not good hope all gets sorted out for ya
-
also what group you going to be riding in matters too your probably best off sorting it on the day if you can or tell him where the place is and meet you there

i have one of these http://www.bombayharbor.com/productImage/0814363001144476613/Air_Compressor_1hp_To_60hp.jpg if you have to use a foot pump or small compressor always put too much air in its less fiddly to let air out to get the correct pressure and you only have to put the pressure guage back on to check
-
Another tip when bleeding is once you think you are just about done run the res low but not too low don't get air in again remove the caliper's and push the piston's back in this will move any air stuck in the caliper
-
Get some sintered pads and braided hoses You could have cheap pads in there which can make the brakes feel spongey You could also have air trapped in the caliper some can be a twat to get out Don't listen to anyone saying the the brake lever back over night to make the air come out it doesn't work its a sealed unit once lever is pulled nothing can get out although it can help air rise
-
you can try it depends how heat resistant it is really
-
it is that straight forward though the only draw back is the tightness of space in some places
-
ive been working on both for years and must say bikes are more simpler then cars get stuck in and save your money if you have no idea then its a good way to learn or get others to help you and buy a haynes manual too and study that about your bike also look on the internet look for anything to do with your bike model it will give you some idea how it works and common problems and the symptoms too so gives you a head start if you do have problems in the future
