Slow?
You should see it go in reverse - it's French

(well the car isn't but our van is)

I need to give it a good degrease at the weekend to know for sure.

Just cleaned it all up. Just need to wait now...

What section of parts is the selector shaft seal under I cant find it?

Is the gearbox oil separate on these?

Please verify for yourself (I only had a quick look) but I think it's item number 45 of chart 46 (page60) of the Falco parts manual.
The parts manual is (of course) downloadable from Martin Poll's excellent website

Ta. Will look in a bit.

Looks like item 24 on table 46.

Anyone replaced one before?

Are they a pig to do?

It was serviced by DW motorcycles in Scarborough before I got it....

I wouldn't take a bike there judging by the work they have done on this.

The missed that a vac pipe went to nowhere, just an open end most likely iwo removed Scott oiler.

It looks like they've overfilled with oil as the airbox is swimming in it, and it's all over the TB's etc.

My ht leads should be here mon/tues so will fit them whilst the air box is off then run it and sort the oil level out.

Second hand bikes are a pain in the arse sometimes.

I would imagine you paid a lot less than my oasis mate. But you would have had a good bike with no troubles.
I hope you get the demons in the bile sorted soon.

Anno, this one was delivered the main problem I had with yours was logistics.

Anywho, got any tips on bleeding the clutch?

I searched and found a link to AF1 with kzmille guide. That seemed to focus on the rear brake.

EDIT: it's the same link?

Hey Zoid, you are allowed to post in other places

zoidberg · #120 Post by **zoidberg** » Sun Jun 23, 2013 6:26 pm

Would get messy with threads everywhere at least I'm only making a nuisance of myself here.

I'll be on the gallery showing the falco off in the lakes if we ever get a summer...

Or possibly in a lake if I find any more problems
