  1. R1evad Many thanks for your help.Moved home a year ago and had so much work to do on the house,my two bikes were just stored and not used.Really diddent know about storing upright (you live and learn) but my 1,000 cc exup was fine,just rocked it in gear and that freed it. have a fairly good mechanical knowledge as stripped and tuned my 750cc Norton Atlas, and matchless 650 csr no probs but that was in the 60s and old british twins were just a little easier,than modern 1000 cc fours. So will go the route of buying a paddock stand,and see how it goes. Many thanks howard
  2. Having probs trying to unstick my r1 clutch. Ive tried getting the engine hot,putting in 3rd gear and rocking with the clutch in,but it refuses to budge. (my fault as its been stored for a year) presume ill have to strip it down,clean the plates and refit.Not being mechanical minded,wondered any problems doing this. Any tips would be gratefully received about doing this job.(how long will it take approx) Cheers howard
