  1. you'll need the spring as well if you haven't got one.
  2. this is what happens when you get greedy with your 6inches I'm happy with my 5.5inches
  3. I can't see an extra 5mm making any difference to the bearings !!!! but have you got enough room at the frame pivot area ?
  4. is the bike definitely in neutral and not in a false neutral ?
  5. yeah if the mileage is going down then the clock is being driven backwards, is it defo the right speedo drive at the wheel ?
  6. theirs only one way for Russ to find out though
  7. I would say its more likely to be the teeth on the gears that are a bit rough.
  8. this is a 1978 GS750 with an 1980 GSX750/1100ET tank on, anything is possible. where are you ? I have a GS850/1000G tank kicking around !!!
  9. the one that burns your fingers
  10. and wearing a long brown coat and flat cap
  11. the problem with mass produced frames is getting them perfect, I was told on a Suzuki course that a frame could be up to 3mm out at the headstock !!!! but that was acceptable !!!!!!! just like the adjuster marks on a swingarm, you set them right and then do a wheel alignment and the wheels are out of line we had 2 long alignment beams (made for the job) to get the wheels in line.
  12. I looked at them but wasn't gona pay the price for one and find out it didn't work !!! so i made one (rough as fuck) but it did the same job. routed the cable round the side of the cylinder up to the lever and it felt just the same to me ???? just one of those things i suppose
  13. yeah im a lefty as well, just grip nice and tight and shake it. doesn't work by the way but its fun trying
  14. you could start bashing the bishop with your left hand for extra strength
  15. da jar vue !!!! I had the same issue with mine, I m afraid thats how they are. i have R.A. so it was painful for me. but i used standard suzuki springs. a new cable well lubed and I even fitted a tiny bearing to the lever pivot. all helped but still not light.
  16. I had this out with my insurance company, they said having no MOT will not effect the outcome in an accident, but we all know insurance company's but at the end of the day they would have to prove that the bike wasn't road worthy wouldn't they ?
  17. nah only joking, i was thinking of shoving a hair drier in the air box though
  18. yep its a killer !!!! my first bike when i was 14 was a TS125, I live on a small Island so surrounded by sand, and every weekend me and my mates where on the beach and in the sand hills having fun. it soon wrecked the bike
  19. I think washing the dust covers in soap and warm water is enough to clean them, but if you are using gaiters then it doesn't matter.
  20. whats wrong with them ? if they are just dirty then clean them up.
