Nev brilliant mate LMAO still laughing infact i was a bit stressed but now not so much

And all his helpers

the exhausts turned up and after a bit of a polarva they're on wahooo thank you to everyone who gave me advice n tips thay all helped me to fit them quicker the only probs i really had were with the hex bolts i bought i couldn't get them to screw into the cylinder head without cross threading so i had to re-thread the original lugs i took out (with mawl grips ) but it worked n now its on n back on the road wahoo so thanks again everyone

Still waiting

Hi y'all not been on for a while been waiting for my exhausts to arrive.. as you know i had great enthusiasm and excitment about changing the exhausts n studs on my bike but with them not turning up i decided to checked back n read the not so obviouse print at the bottom of the page to my horror it said 12 to 14 days whaaaaaaat!!! so im a bit miffed i didnt read that, so ive been titivating the bike a bit, not too much as this would detract from what i want from the bike so i haven't had much to report on,except still here waiting for them to arrive oh moving to Tidworth soon

very nice indeed i like the whole bike they go well together niiiice

Doh !!

picked up some of those bolts today they look guchi all black n shiny ill use some anti seize stuff n job done oh bought some down pipes today couldnt wait anymore so they should be here by the end of the week latest back on the road weekend wahoo, thanks gain for all the help n tips much appreciated, Rev

yeah course it helps ill keep that in mind its all knowlage of which i have none and wish to gain thanks mate

good evening and welcome sister you'll like it on here lots of helpfull people n a giggle I LIKE IT

Ha !! sorted system flushed good stuff in plus new oil filter next air filter n change exhaust studs (i'll try not to break it off) now i know an oil and filter change isnt anything big but its a start right... tomorrow plan to take over the world ha ha ha harr (in a nice sort of way) one thing tho this run the engine for 10 mins to check the oil seems a bit strange to me for if its low will you not do damage to the engine ? i cant be the first to mention this so i do apologise but I DONT LIKE IT it makes me nervous

just found out the "other" oil drain plug is on the frame and yes to get an accurate level reading i have to run the engine for 10 mina ..sorted

brilliant cheers cynic just the type of advice im after i could only see one but will check it out i feel a bit daft asking what seems like simple questions

so after topping it up with car oil ive bought some (8lt) of bike oil so i could drain whats in there fill up with the right stuff start him up let all the oil mix about a bit then drain again and then fill up with the good stuff now checking data n such on the bike it says it has a 3.2lt oil capacity now ive put just under 3lt in n the dip stick is reading well over the full level ? now i was tild by the previous owner that you had to run it for about 10 mins before checking the oil to get an accurate reading is this true.. plus pouring the oil in took fooooorever it would only take about 1/4 cup full at any one time before spilling over the top is there a better way of doing this than with a funnel thanks for any help, Rev

sometimes they just write themselves

welcome paul im in aldershot which isnt too far really so perhaps a meet half way lol

helloooo n welcome

hello n welcome exupmal enjoy the site

thank you kindly im trying to save money plus gain a knowlage about the working of my bike by doing it myself however i am aware that this could also cost me more by doing it incorrectly but touch wood n all that , thanks again, Rev

Hi me again all things being equal how easy is it to take out the exhaust bolt the ones that secure the exhaust to the engine ? do i need a special tool for this , thanks again Rev
