  1. kidney stones, what's this torpedo?
  2. thanks, I'm not so bad now
  3. I suggest you get a Manu*l for it then. please don't ask for one on here as advertisers withdraw their sponsorship of the site
  4. got very severe pains in lower abdomen, so much i hyper ventilated and had to be carried into A&E as lost use of arms and legs. got given codine phosphate which I reacted to, so pretty grim weekend. went to docs and got some meds to open wee tubes to get them pesky stones out. Still awaiting hospital to phone for an appointment (I'm not hopeful)
  5. clutch is slipping, then grabbing. You need either to find out what oil is in there as the PO may have put car oil in which ruins the clutch plates, or change the oil completly. if that fails then you'll need to get to the clutch, first get a clutch cover gasket, you'll need one unles the pO has coated a previous one with grease before fitting. you won't need to dump the oil, just leave the bike on its side stand. I assume you know your way round motorcycles?
  6. needs loctiting too, prob that's why it failed
  7. I'm unsure how the cam sprocket got down there, was the camshaft missing?
  8. OK ATM only just coming round to some sort of normalitly Doc gave me some tabs to open up me tubes and had a few issues with a reaction to codine phosphate. On the sunny sidem lost 4lbs in weight
  9. 1 hit wonder guy's :/
  10. Robbin to the YOC
  11. depends which side your looking from
  12. use a magnet on an extension and fish out the chain.
  13. working tomorrow and scouts on sunday
  14. Bubbles devere?
  15. those pesky vegetables again!
  16. crank sprocket is part of the crank, so the PO couldn't of removed that

  18. try carl salter (google) no more mention on this site regarding M0nuals as bots pick up on it and give the site owner (Alex) a lot of hassle and withdraw funding
  19. so no camshaft / sprocket or both?
  20. I'd check the cam timing, its easy to get wrong. Even1 tooth out could make a difference and make sure the camchain is properly tensioned as per manual
  21. flipper
  22. to the YOC
  23. the starter is completely separate from the kick transmission, don't confuse the 2. the clutch should lock when spun anticlockwise and be free when spun clockwise with it on the crank
