Thanks for all of your replies.

Mike you win the cigar, it was the pins partly seized, cleaned and regreased and now she spins like a good un. Many thanks for your advice.

Anyone notice or know why the pistons dont come out together?

Thanksfor your reply. No the disc is true and the spacer on the disc side and the speedo drive on the other side are fitted correctly. The bearings are fine and the wheel spins fine with no caliper fitted. Do you think it could be the seals in the caliper not backing off as they should when the brak...

Evening all. The front brake on my AR is binding a little, you can turn the wheel whilst off the ground but it stops immediately. I have removed the pads which are fine and watched the pistons as they come out. The top one pumps out ok but the bottom one only comes out after the top one comes under ...

Hi Alex, found the pictures of the loom on the laptop today, I will send them tomorrow morning for you. Let me know if they help, if not I can take the tank and seat off mine and talk you through any problems.

Your very welcome, if i forget just give me a nudge.

If you want any other photos for reference just let me know.

Hi Alex, I have loads of photos of how the loom goes but they are on my laptop at work, if you can wait until Jan 3rd I will e mail them to you.

Thats a great price Hallsy, i had my frame and sub frame blasted and coated the other day and was charged £120, did a great job though. I also had the foot pegs done which were a night mare to fit because of the thickness of the powder coating.

Anyone recommend what gearbox oil and 2t oil they use in an AR.

Thanks for your reply Knack, I was a bit worried when I found the play as the bearings were all fine.

Just finishing off the wiring loom now which has gone back quite easy.

As I am now getting to the end of rebuilding my AR I have noticed that I have a some sideways play in the rear shock. Up and down is fine. When the shock was off the bike I checked the top bearing and the bearings in the lower link and all seemed fine. Is this normal???

Probably a subject thats been covered before but can anyone please advise on whats the best option for the oils in my AR. I have a good quality Castrol 4 stroke engine oil 10/40 which I intend to use in the gearbox and a Castrol fully synthetic 2t oil. I used these in my sons KTM SX crosser so would...

Just let me know when you are down and I will sort a guide for you, Cornwall or Devon, the choice is yours Bongo.

Nice to hear that you know about Pink Panther Mike, it sure is a lane that warms you up!!!

Hi Bongo, Devon is one of the counties with the most lanes that can be ridden legally. If you put a post on the Devon TRF forum you will find loads of guys to take you out. I am in The Cornwall TRF and lead rides every other weekend, if you want to have a go at the slippery slate climbs we have down...
