for metric the drill size is thread size less pitch. so for an M7 with 1.25 pitch you need a 5.75mm drill bit.

Neil maybe join us at Squires in sept with your daughter and see the social/camaraderie side of biking too

can't touch this...

some of them are either machined in situ or are bonded in there. I know the SOHC is machined and if worn is scrap. Its bound to have some residual oil in there so it should be fine. Just do the rocking test when assembled

this thread will attract them....not

not seen Lee for a while, hope he's ok?

great news Bips, although there will be a little sad that your moving away from us. Hope you can make squires too Foams will be happy as your getting closer to him

Just bought the mag, practical sportsbike as it has an article on the XJ600. In the useful links yamahaclub.com gets 1st mention ; "every Yam owner should join this busy UK forum" well done guy's for a great forum and resource

my god, a 20 page Zazzle Tshirt thread now

still off the road with the finger

did frank melling win again?

this will go down in the annals of history as the biggest waste of time and effort for nothing. better send me my money back then please DDT

agreed is the only way if you run a classic. someone crashes into you and it brakes a lever, it will be written off as uneconomical to repair. market value is based on glasses guide, if its not in there then its worth £50 (that's a guess but not far off)

ha ha, your barred

what's going on now then? Is this the biggest non-starter since the Y2k bug?

to the yoc had two and sold one, to make room for more bikes

stay happy is my mantra. do the things you love. If you want money you'd work in a bank/desk job years ago.

I'm still finding stuff I "put away" for other projects and well as buying two of everything. no wonder I'm skint

I've got an edit

probably the kick stand

if you want the wheel to move forward loosen the axle bolt and the adjusters and give the wheel a kick from the rear pushing it forward.adjusters only work pulling the wheel back (and when the axle bolt is loose)

I can't ride till end may at least, really really pissing me off

that looks like a brake pad shim. usually fits between the caliper and back of brake pad

a picture would help eddie. shared the same stuff as the fz I think too. if you go on cmsnl and get the part codes, you can then google it and you might find they share parts with other bikes.
