    Kev, Have you tried ESB in Bolton? I have used them a few times and surprisingly, cheap. They order 4:30 Monday for delivery Thursday

    I told it as it is, I could spin the inner hub by hand, After checking that all the gears lined up behind the basket, I refitted the plates as before but with the new springs.

    well I had it off today (ooh vicar) took all the plates off and put them back in. the new springs were about 5mm longer and da daaa, it all fits in nice and tight. probably it was the springs not putting enough tension on the plates, even though it wasn't slipping before hand! managed to set the float heights and a quick test on the bike and it purrs on tick-over, no nasty rattly noises and revs cleanly too. now i have to get new fuel tap rubber and gasket as it pisses out of there, being removed for epoxy tank lining. nearing the end of the tunnel now thanks guys for your input as it does help putting things into perspective. new order for bits to yamaha and that should be it

    no its not that, i never got that far. the inner hub is spinning even with the clutch hub bolts tightened up it can't be the oil gear as the back of the basket has to rest on the bearing, not the gear. I'll find out tomorrow when I have the time (and hopefully the weather)
  17. say you'll build a log cabin, that should be a goer
  18. Slice, just get another bike the same colour. The missus won't notice the change the wife has only just realised I have an fz600 as it was red and the xs was red.
