I can't ride much in the winter as it effects my R/A so the bike doesn't get used much IF i had to use my ET in the winter i would spend the cash on better riding gear. I just can't imagine an ET with a fairing, the bike looks good without one.
its part of the unwritten rules to post a pic of your bike by the way
I had a horible noise on my GSX1100L many years ago, when i stripped it i found the inner needle roller bearing had colapsed on the output shaft and the outer roller bearing on the same shaft had cracked right through the outer race it also trashed the shaft at the needle roler end.
theirs a new theory going round about not honing, the goal is to have a smooth bore which helps a good seal at the rings, so why ruff the surface up again ??? does make some sence !!!! just putting it out their
if im not in a rush i'll leave em over night (with a drip tray under them) but if the float valves are leaking it doesn't take long before you can tell.
if your torque arm bolts to the frame then the brake hanger swings back and forth with suspension movement. so it has a spacer/bush where the spindle goes through so the hanger can pivot. but if the torque arm bolts to the swinger then a solid one is used.
the best thing to do after having a heart attack is get in the shed and build a bike, its what i did after mine bike looks good, and good luck with getting your licence back
disconnect the brake light switches one at a time and see if the light goes out, if it does on one switch then it could be faulty, or in the rear one just needs adjusting.
