    go for it if you have the will and cash. If you are going original then def use the jap size bullet connectors.

    send it to a specialist, who can put it on their machine to test resistance and spring weight. Its not just a matter of a new spring as the valving has to match it too I use these guys near to me https://www.kais-ohlins.co.uk/suspension-servicing

  12. sorry about your dad, should be a good tribute to him and we'll help best we can
  13. the kicker is not affected by the sprag clutch (or lack of), you need a working transmission clutch for it to work though as it runs through there on the right hand side to the right hand crank. BTW the rear wheel axle thread (or front this is from memory) fits on the end of the stator flywheel after removing the central bolt, a little tap on the stator with a rubber hammer and it should fly off

  18. really, that's your first post? you want a free engine rebuild from a nearby mechanic on an undisclosed make and model. Mr Haynes can show you how but the book is around £17
  19. met up with Tommy and his son Jim at Lymm services late morning for a foray into Matlock Bath. I took them vai macc and the A54 "south of macc" to top of cat and fiddle, a much better road and no speed cameras. Was very greasy as they had overnight rain. the via Velia was shut butthey didn't tell us till 1/2 way down so took a left and went down a cracking B raod to Bakewell then down the A6 to Matlock. Home was through Ashbourne and onto the A515 we managed to experience the 4 seasons ( not Vivaldi) showers in macc sunshine in Matlock hail stones on cat and fiddle we also met 3 members of a rock group
  20. probably linked brakes like vfr800 and some guzzi's
  21. yea, and dont forget to flick the run switch to on too
  22. starter may just need a strip and clean up. sometimes the earth isn't too good, check the metal ground is clean. does the starter lead get warm?
