Had the MOT today, went through.

However, the only problem was the swinging arm nut was loose and needed to be tightened up.

I tightened it up of course when I replaced the whole at lot at Christmas: a few weeks ago.

So I was a bit surprised to see it had shaken loose

.

On closer inspection the blue nyloc bit had broken away, so it wasn't doing its job. I'll need to replace it.

Its a 17mm socket job.

I can of course take it off but its raining hard outside and I'm not going out to the shed!!

So in the comfort of a warm house.........

Is it M10 or 12 ?

and I suspect its metric fine pitch 1.25...............looks like i'll be going to in the morning!

to get a new one!

I'm sure Paul knows what size it is!

Thats incredible you know the breakdown of what the yamaha codes mean, i knew they must mean something but...wow!....... you're the man! :hail:

I've just been looking at the codes.........so 06 are M6 and 08 are M8's.......simple when you know.

I bet it is a metric fine, because genuine ones are expensive for a nut! and metric fine always seem to be more expensive than regular nuts!

nuts oooooh hazel nuts! OOOHH Cadbury take them and they make 'em in to chocolate.

Who remembers that?
