i picked mine up for £100 off ebay have a look there is some bargains to be had £120 may sound cheap but its not if it gets wet!! especially if your in europe at the time!!!
-
go for the halfords ones they are brilliant tools and there pro range is guaranteed for life
-
if you want to go to europe i would save your money and get a bike specific one you wont regret it
-
i think most will be in car for this rennie i will be as i have a car full
-
even though i love Dukes the monster is a dog go for the kwaker they cant be that bad if they race them in the mini twins
-
yes but part numbers are the same i use them to get part numbers walk in to my stealers and say i want this part number please and its always right always wrong when they find things for me
-
oh bugger just re read your post ima little tired you can get them to twist right back so the sit right in but when you connect the cable and adjust it up properly all will be well
-
my manual isnt for your bike so could be different!! you have to adjust the arm to a certain angle from a certain point that point could be anywhere on yours!!! once the arm is set to the right positiont you undu the nut and screw the screw in/out until it is just touching the push rod then hold the screw whilst you tighten the lock nut up i would wait around for walneyfrankie he may know as he used to have a bandit
-
30 mins - an hour tops i can do mine in about 20 mins but i had that much trouble with it at one point i could do it with my eyes closed yours is the same system as mine too
-
if the bearings where worn forget the screw and nut and buy a full unit best way IMO they arent cheap though think i paid about £26 quid!!! and dont take it apart!!!!
-
how do you know the bearings have had it ? i have first hand experience with these had them in bits too many times and getting those bearings back in are a twat!!! the sometimes feel loose but they are usually fine the first thing that goes is the cage holding the bearings
-
the reason your clutch now doesnt work will be because you have moved something out of adjustment and it will need adjusting back as per the manual
-
try here http://fiche.ronayers.com/Index.cfm/Mod ... oup/CLUTCH number 18 is the full unit 19 and 20 is the adjuster nut and lock nut

http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2005/comp ... n&x=46&y=6 yeah it is the ST4s that has the 996 the ST4 isnt on there anyway the st3 used prices start from £2790 could get a bargain and pick one up for 2500 if you could stretch that far but then there extra on a decent service!!! i would lean towards the blackbird still
-
also in the ride mag theres a good test on the ST3 and triumph sprint st 1050 the ST3 is almost identical to the ST4 apart from the motor has a slightly bigger bore 996 as apposed to 992cc
-
there is a good write up in octobers ride mag (thats this months as they are stupid and publish a month infront ) give loads of usefull info
-
the blackbird is dirt cheap for servicing costs and there is some bargains to be had too personally even though i love ducati and love V twins i would go for the blackbird
-
i stayed here in july http://www.glanaberhotel.com/ its in betws-y-coed which is in Snowdonia National Park some great roads round there as you probably already know they have a car park around the rear so bike would be safe rooms arent too bad and breakfast is good too
-
on which part does he say they dont work properly ? there is only a slight rub brakes do tend to fur up if left even after one day and soon free up once ridden!!!
-
its hard to say if its normal rub without looking feeling listening etc etc personally i would take the bike for a short ride 5 miles or so and see how it is
