  1. .....but if the chain snaps, bye bye engine case. got a mate with a CBX1000 and his snapped (luckily from standstill) and he doesn't gun it (wussie)
  2. one in usa which needs rebuilding. Item number: 260315180697 new? http://www.motogrid.com/pages/parts/viewby...95/default.aspx CALIPER ASS'Y (SKU: 2V0-25810-00-00) 1 $240.80 -
  3. called a "C" spanner
  4. get the carbs balanced they don't vibrate that much do you mean the starter motor chain?
  5. Tis good, now all we need is a way to blacken the "blooming" on the plastic
  6. what, to make it shiney?
  7. you can pm me with an attatchment!! can you not use a rebuild kit? quite easy to do
  8. I think so, what I am thinking is that Yamaha used parts bins so identifying the caliper will enable us to offer an alternative, but the same type of caliper. I think a pikkie would be best

    don't snap 'em then!!
  10. not really, all calipers float but what I'm asking is does the mounting bolt go through the side or along in relation to the bike?
  11. is it the single piston caliper, or swinging caliper with the round brake pads?
  12. my wife goes for length every time
  13. I don't think specsavers are as good as people say. I went there today, and told the optician that I think I'm a bit short sighted. "Short sighted," he said, walking over to the window. "Do you see that round orangey thing up in the sky?" he asked. "Yes, it's the sun," I replied. He says "That's 93 million miles away. How fucking far do you want to see?"

  17. I'm sure they'll be a charge, or the battery will be flat!!!

    you have an air leak sir or your pilot system is blocked. is the pilot screw nice and pointed (ie like a needle?) or is it rounded/blunt?
  19. I agree, get new caliper seals and renew the brake lines (HEL are good as well as cheap)

    don't get the areosol version as it works out more expensive. I bought the pump action with 1 litre of the stuff from stafford last year and have used about half of it (i do use it a lot though!)
