  1. All done thanks I took the plug and spring out and gently pushed on the tensioner and I heard it click.It sounds like a new bike now so it did indeed need its next click.thats one to remember for the future Thanks
  2. Is there any way to help it along to its next click
  3. Hi not been on here for a while covid nearly got me.Anyway my 1200 blandit rattles terrible it's a little better when hot I've done the valve clearance and replaced the tensioner spring but it still sounds bad.Im now thinking the cam chain has passed its service life the bike has done 35k miles .Has anyone had the experience of using the split chain to avoid the engine strip down.or are they best avoided.will i get more cam chain milage from a manual tensioner. Thanks

    Head skim

    While I have my bandit 12 head on the mill at work sorting the exhaust stud holes I was wondering if it would benefit from a head skim.if its a worthwhile mod how much should I remove. Thanks
  5. Excellent thanks I didn't know if there were any clearance issues with the frame and getting a socket or spanner on the nuts
  6. Hi I have just had to re weld one of my exhaust stud holes as the previous owner absolutely butchered one of the holes trying to drill it out.I have re tapped the hole and would rather use studs instead of bolts.would there be any issues with studs apart from the ball ache of exhaust flange alignment.didnt know if anyone in the past had junked bolts for studs Thanks
  7. 4 x drain o rings and 6 x head o rings £76.was a little surprised with the cost
  8. Hi I'm going to remove the head from my blandit 12 to re machine the exhaust studs.i have been told that you can re use the head gasket with giving it a coat of primer is that right.if a new head gasket is needed do I go genuine or are there decent pattern ones available Thanks
  9. I have had an issue in the past that not one plug would fire spent days trying to find a problem.A set of new plugs and it was perfect.
  10. Been in touch with a guy who owns one has exactly the same set up.i should have said its the same clutch as an rf 900 rather than its an rf 900 clutch.
  11. Mystery solved it was fitted with a Rf900 clutch at the factory.swingarm is also rf900 Thanks for everyones help
  12. I always find i get the best results on here
  13. Yup your right my maths is terrible
  14. I've compared the pictures of the 600 hub and its different the raised center hub on mine is bigger diameter.also the bike has stood for 15 years + so unlikely to be a k4 item.
