Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

For this procedure, the angle of the cocktail stick would have to be modified subtly if carrying out this operation on a bike with the uprated oil filter and filter cap.

.... just an observation ..... :smt053

re clutch get, i can get neutral most of the time ,2nd and tap down but the jet can do no harm plus i am going to shorten the drop link on the g/box to shorten up the change that might make neutral a real prob

be really careful with adjusting the gear change linkage..... may I humbly suggest taking it off the bike and giving it a damn good clean and regrease first.....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

When they had a go at mine the other week, they were using a twigg sharpened at the end, mine was catching on something so he mentioned about having another go with the casing warmed up, which is mentioned earlier

It's not a twig! It's an Eco-friendly jet removal tool (EFJRT v1.1)

Well that must be MartDude then ..... Sam is too busy knocking back the Jack, you write your own prescriptions and I'm just not organised enough.

... but Mart still thinks he's on the IOW at a festival (not Hanna's TT) - so nobody is going to believe a word of it .....

CLUTCH JET WARNING - DOWNGRADED TO CODE YELLOW


It seems that a well-known purveyor of chips (not Gabro or Harry Ramsden) has a stock of the 40 clutch jet at a price of €10.

http://www.rsvzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12526

The situation may not be as grave as first thought

Well done the Dr. :smt004
