Transmission Bolts

Hello again I am about to do a spline lube and Chris Harris recommends replacing the Transmission bolts. Do I really need to replace them or can I reuse the old ones?

Re: Front brake bleed nipple

I would avoid modifying anything that cannot be reverted. I would buy one of these: http://www.speedbleeder.com/ I had one on my R65 for a long time, and loved it. Does it screw straight in? Yes. It replaces the stock nipple (which I guess you don't have). Does it appear the threads have been chang...

Front brake bleed nipple

Firstly apologies for poor photo quality. :( The single front brake caliper doesnt have a bleed nipple only this 10mm x 1mm pitch tapered bolt. http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag91/PaulMarshall1977/007_zps54x5vvjh.jpg Trying to avoid BMWs prices I purchased this 10mm x 1mm pitch bleed nipple. ht...

Re: Why is my Fairing Different from Most?

Uh, Downut, I see that we've confused you, so I'll try to be clearer. The bike you own has an RT fairing on it. It looks a lot like its smaller, sleeker, and sportier sibling, the RS fairing, that you've probably been admiring in whatever pictures you've been looking at. The previous owner may have...

Re: Why is my Fairing Different from Most?

Thanks everyone. Now for my next question can I fit the smaller RT windscreen to my RS fairing and still keep the screen height adjustment that comes with the RS fairing?

Why is my Fairing Different from Most?
