  2. na mate remove the circlips with needle nose pliers (you MUST replace them with new ones) then use a deep fit 16 or 18mm socket, thread some all thread through it with a washer and nut on the back, and on the other side use a 6-8mm deep fit socket backed by a washer and a nut. warm the piston with a hair dryer or heat gun, then use the nuts to push the piston pin into the deep socket. You don't need to push it all the way, just enough so that its clear of the little end bearing. you can buy a tool for hundreds or use this - if you need force youre doing it wrong if you heat the piston enough often you can just gently push the piston pin out of the piston ... never tap it out!

  8. I grew up in a very poor family so I didn't have toys, or a pram to throw them out of. There is nothing wrong with reading comments and reflecting, this is one of those posts for me. Yes, we do get posts where people are breaking forum rules and the occasional spammer but they are sorted very quickly. We don't have the rubbish going on that many sites suffer from where it is deemed acceptable to post abuse or threats. I will say that idle johns edited post did not fall into any of those categories. Falling foul of the sites netiquette is not a crime, it is how it is remedied that is important. There is/was a RD - I can't remember if air cooled or LC - on fleabay for a little short of £10k. It was unregistered. If the XS is worth £1k then riding around on a tidy classic will be cheap. It will never be worth a mint because it is a a XS and it is a 250. It doesn't mean it isn't worth keeping or riding. I wouldn't convert it into cash as it would be worth more to me as a ride - with family history - than just an asset.
