Love longridge, one of me fave bike routes is jeffrey hill, birdy brow then clitheroe, pendle hill an back.

Alright jm, whereabouts in preston are ya?

Think you'll end up replacing them though...

You mean the new bearings?

How about a powerful vacuum cleaner and an proper blast with an air line.

Then lots of flushing with parafin?

You'll have to be extra careful and make sure every bit is out

Ive tried doing it. A full roll ended up screwed up in the bin

Ya need lots of patience and skill. I have the former but lack the latter.

The panels being flexible make it extra hard, how did you get around this?

I dont think your gonna be getting all the seals an that what helisupp listed for £300, but you dont have to change them. You dont have to change the balance shaft either. Its a case of if your planning on keeping the bike a while, its worth replacing certain things. If you just want to get it runni...

Be cheaper buying my mk2, just for the engine and rest for spares.

I have a spare quickfire blowlamp if your worried about cost of gas for heating bearings etc. It connects onto a propane cylinder which only cost about 7 quid. It also lights itself but its gettin on a bit an doesnt always self light

What i mean by the spindle acts as spacer face is where the spindle goes fat, it touches the speedo drive. The speedo drive doesnt touch the fork. Thats why you bounce on the forks - the spindle will naturally seat itself in that clamp, then tighten the clamp

Yeah, the spindle acts as the spacer face. Do that then nip up the 4 nuts, then back them off a bit. Hold handlebars with front brake on and bounce the forks to take up the sticktion. Without moving the forks again too much, tighten up the 4 nuts.
If im wrong i'll soon be corrected

Hi,
What mark crm do you have?
The speedo drive acts as a spacer, and you have another spacer on the other side.
You should have 4 nuts on the spindle clamp, same side of the speedo drive, if its a mk2

Nah, i wouldnt risk that.

Theres a local enduro track where you can ride the woods - £25 a pop which is cheaper than buying another bike.
Theyre all good riders though, ive been once an made a cock of meself

Will be goin again, but this time i'll be prepared

Hello there.

Bit off topic, but fishy rides in the woods a lot, well, kinda woods. Bamboo woods :D Are you allowed to ride in public woods in Britain? There are many local to me. I know some motocross guys who ride in the woods, but dont know if theyre actually breaking the law or not. If i fight the law, the la...
