I’ll leave it then…

I’m having a right job trying to get my wheel bearings out. The Maintenance manual doesn’t give much away on best method..

I’ve removed the circlips and trying to take them out towards that circlip on the understanding that the non circlip side the bearing sits against that shoulder.

Got a quote all bits and…[Read more]

Great news you’ve managed to remove the old bearings Jon. Are you still wanting me to price new ones?

I can’t say I know of anyone who has fitted rearsets. However one of our members (chrisLWG) has done a modification to his footrests which alters the position. He has reversed the footpegs (fitting the left on the right and the right on the left) and with modifications reconnected the gear change and brake pedal.

Maybe this would help give you…[Read more]

Hi KK,

I have to agree with your assessment.

Unfortunately,  if I remember correctly,  I did try reversing the leads on the relay and had no change.  Being that I’m getting older and forgetful,  I’ll try again, just in case I forgot lol!

Thanks for your response.  I appreciate it.

I don’t know that much about wiring LED lights but I do believe they will only work one way meaning they are terminal sensitive. From what you are describing it sounds like the live has a constant connection on the indicator circuit when they are switched on and as the relay attempts to do it’s job it is weakening the positive supply rather than…[Read more]

Ok so with some dremelling and a mini slotting disc to slot the bearing cups it gave enough relief to ease the bearing cups out with a screwdriver and hammer.

All good……

I use to have to work that way so you have my sympathy.

Personally if the sump gasket is currently OK I would leave it alone. It isn’t that difficult to do with the engine in anyway.

Keep us updated with your progress.

I can relate to that ha ha

Personally I am unaware of anything but I would suggest take the right panel to an auto paint suppliers that matches and get them to make you one. Where you have a problem is the base coats as variations can significantly alter the shade. If you want to do it on the cheap take it to halfraud’s or similar and do it that way. Make sure you check it…[Read more]

I’ll have a little play tomorrow see what i can do.

Yeah i think i’ll create some dremel notches beneath bearing seat – mind you i’ll be dead by the time they  need doing again – so might not both lol.

Thank you 😊

There is a guy on ebay doing fork stanchions for the B1 but at £174 they are not cheap. I have discovered that one of the Z900 tubes fit and if you use the B3/B4 springs they got in without the need of a spacer. They are approximately 30mm longer than standard but still allow (just) the centre stand to do it’s job.

I can get the replacement fork…[Read more]

Great that you’ve got it off Jon. I have not had one that stubborn in fact all mine have come straight off. Hopefully it won’t have damaged anything else badly. Shout up if you need any headlight ears etc I have a few reasonable sets here plus other parts.

Normally I just use a drift and tap them out a bit at a time. I have not seen that before. It does look like it would probably do the trick. I will speak with Zpower next week and try and get some feedback.

There is a tip for easier removal next time. Using a dremmel or something similar make 4 small grooves in the headstock to allow a bigger…[Read more]
