at the rate we are losing places to go we will have to chip in and buy a forum burger van to park up in big layby on nice summer evenings and weekend and work a rota in it -
you will need correct size socket to undo front sprocket and to do it back up again apart from that if it is a soft link type chain you will need a chain splitter/angle grinder and then a chain link rivetter and of course the correct size socket for removing and replacing rear sprocket

lets hope thats not litterally well done on passing -
changing plugs is not to bada job just got to ake set and tank off and might have to loosen a plate or 2 over the top of the engine you will need a plug socket and extension bar and ratchet make sure the socket has got a rubber boot in it to grip the plug so once its undone it will stay in the socket as yo lift it up out of the hole its in

same one on my harley as well and turns that over no problem at all

you have got to give the dealer fair chance to correct the problems with the bike before you can try saying its not worth having sounds like they didnt pdi it correctly or hoped it would clear up as time went on but first thing to do is ring dealer and get all the faults corrected under warranty
-
this is the only help i can give you http://www.giantco.com/model/motorcycle ... knight.htm and get them to order the parts required
-
if you have never touched a bike before then the geton scheme is a very good idea as it gives you an insite on what a bike is and what lever is where and as its free its worth sorting out then going for cbt afterwards
-
follow the main wire with the red cover on it down behind the left hand side panel i think and ther you will find the starter solonoid when you press the start button its t his you will hear click give it a tap with something see if that makes it work as the contacts could be stuck inside it failing that try bump starting it using leg power and 2nd gear see what happens then
-
battery is under front half of the seat just pop the seat off and you will see it sat there,ther might be a metal plate across the top of it that will need to be undone just one 10mm headed bolt each side and plate will move out the way if i remember correctly
-
1st off if you leave the bike with the mot place to change the headrace bearings then retest should be free of charge normally but as bearing set is no more than £25 then £175 labour does seem a bit over the top and have to agree with other op that they have priced it as they not keen on doing the work but will for a price like that
-
he means whats the list of faults on the bike that are being corrected under warranty
-
warranty on a bike doesnt include a hire bike but it it was a major problem that was going to take a long time to sort its up to the dealer if he offers you one or not out of the goodness of his heart and we all know about dealers hearts
-
ride it flat out and when it cuts out open fuel cap as quick as you can see if you hear a hiss from it in which case it will be the breather blocked or partly blocked
-
hopefully all covered by warranty ?

having a right nightmare finding someone to insure my bike anything other than 3rd party only as its a Q plate F**k it
-
if its a correct one for your bike seat and tailored to fit then they are not to hard to do yourself if you have got a staple gun just patience and time is all thats required
-
it also tends to show up if you change what boots you wear due to the difference in feel to your foot caused by the boots
-
dont forget the problem of steering lock and bars hitting the tank and if its a fiared model you might have to make new cut outs in the fairing best leaving well alone in my opinion
-
how old is the bike and is it still under waranty if so get dealer to sort it out
-
failing other ways secure the bike on something other than the stand and is it then not possible to unbolt the stand hook spring over and use the whole stand as as lever to relocate it to correct mounting place?
