just waiting for double bleed banjo from royster (im waiting on you roy! )




awaiting bolts for side stand, rear sets & sub frame.
have also scrubbed the sub tray down got read of some 22yrs of dirt and grime.

Where'd ya get the new nuts n bolts Rick?
I'm stripping me swinging arm, got new bearings and seals but looking to replace me rusty nuts lol

i use a place called wellafix in cannock.
http://wellafix.co.uk/default.aspx for most of my bolts,
however i found ebay the cheapest for any m10 1.25 pitch as wellafix has to get them made to order and i paid £20 for 4 x M10 x 1.25 A2

also screwfix is the cheapest place for small m4,m5,m6 A2 Allen Socket Bolts Nuts & Washers,

there are some you can change on a budget some that you cannot, namely that of the m10 x 1.25pitch.
i changed what i could but went for the cheaper 1.50 pitch, which is the standard pitch for M10, the 1.25 Pitch is a jap thing and usually when steel goes to alloy, but these are steel to steel bolts so not a problem, just make sure there all torqued up right.

ones you CAN change

bottom shock to cushion arm -m10 x 1.50 - 70mm A2
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0542519791

dog/wish bone to cushion arm - m10 x 1.50 - 120mm A2
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0542519529

Top Brake Torque Arm bolt - m10 x 1.50 - 140mm A2
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0284687841

ones you CANNOT change

the cushion arm to the swingarm
dog/wish bone to frame
top shock bolt
bottom brake torque arm bolt

youll need a wire wheel to clean the old bolts up and some new 1.25 flange or nyloc nuts but its hard to get them in A2,

so the ones i couldnt replace i just cleaned and look as good as new, the 6" brass wire wheel for the bench grinder is one of the best tools ive ever bought and only cost a few Quid, and is still going strong.

Cheers dude

Update - Last few days work

not got alot done the last few days its been REALLY cold, into the Minuses last night -4C

- Swap all the engine case bolts for A2 Allen (M6 / A5 Key) £15 ebay from my other bolt supplier "boltmeup"
DONE

- put the fairings back on

- refit chain
Done



i started the engine saturday,
put the kill switch to off, cranked the engine a few times to make sure the new oil was pumped about in places,

full choke, no throttle dry carbs empty pipes etc, so took about 30secs for the juice to get into the carbs,
then she fired into life but stalled a few times, i found it hard to get the right level of pressure on the quick action throttle, due to the increase in throttle movement,

once she got going got her idling at 2k, them dropped it down to 1.5 then 1k and she was great, revs so much freely through from 5k to 10k i guess with thanks to the K&N panel filter in.

im happy sounds more healthier than when i took it of the road in november.

anyway enough chit chat - more piccies
