Well, cos of the movement in the frame i mentioned, there is about 6mm of play, so i can actually see the bushes between the engine an the swingarm. I tried cuttin em with an hacksaw but space is limited an it hardly touched it.Depends where the bushes are seized to the spindle too, if i did manage ...

You`ve probably guessed that my swingarm spindle is well an truly stuck!! After doin a search at least im not the only one to have suffered. Every night this week ive sprayed wd40 down each end of the seals, used a full can so far! The nut was easy to come off, so i thought id cracked it, but no, sp...

Handy them placcy bottles though.. lol..

Ahh, stuff buyin new discs for the moment, theres no big rush, might just try me luck an see if they pass an MOT. In the meantime a mike type bargain might turn up.

Where the devil did you get the first lot from??

On your eblag bargains, i got the front caliper off the same guy i think

Thanks for that, never bought owt from Hong Kong before, first for everythin i guess.

Yeah, been lookin on the gay bay. Nearly 100 quid for firkin brake discs, its breakin me little heart. No-one wants to part wi decent second hand ones, cant really blame em

No worries, just had a gander at mine, 3mm for front an 4mm for rear. Shat. Mine are miles thinner than these, gonna have to go spendin the wifes lingerie money!

Have i just had a bollockin, i cant work it out?

D`oh.. didnt know that. Im such a dumb ass. Cheers Mike

Hi, checked the FAQ an the boards an found minimum front disc thickness is 2.5mm.
Anyone know what it is for the rear? Mine are mega thin an was just wonderin how id go on at the MOT.
I could do with new ones but since its still in the project stage i dont wanna be shellin out just yet.

I found this useful, found on another forum........ http://www.quality-cycle.com/truth_abou ... chains.htm

Not after a brand new one, tryin to source a decent 2nd hand one. Think it might actually be cheaper to get mine serviced though

Stripped the back end down, been seein if i can get a decent shock instead of gettin mine serviced. Hope it might be cheaper an save time. Thing is, i keep goin in the shed, lookin at the bike an keep thinkin --> shall i mint it, or just do the bits it needs to get it mot`d. Think i`ll just give it ...

Yeah, mine has supermoto wheels, thats why i dont wanna go off road wi it. By the time you buy off road wheels, swap em, mess about wi speedo an that, its easier just gettin another bike. So i did :) I like tinkerin wi 2 strokes, just so easy. Plus they`re nice an light bikes too, just waht tha need...

Hi all, just a quick one to say hello. Just bought a Mk2 to renovate (Didnt actually buy it for that, but when i got it home i realized it was facked!) Anyway, live in Lancashire an bought the beast to try me luck with the green lanes, never done much off road so i`ll probably be askin some stoopid ...
