Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to make this video. It is very clear and concise. Nice slide hammer👍

Thanks Nick. Hope it helps with the maintenance of your bike.

Thanks for this. Sometimes it's not about the money but about being able to repair things rather than replacing them (when it's safe to do so). I started repairing my own bikes back in the 70's and at times had to invent tools to access certain parts and build or modify pieces to hold it all together. Anybody who had a Norton back then knows what I'm talking about. To me, It's a great way to get to know the bike and how everything works. Please keep these videos coming.

Frogs Angels London Totally agree, I wonder why people still commented about replace in repair VDO.

at minute 34:00 when attaching the plastic and wires on that support bar. I damaged my support bar and wondering if its fairly simple to replace? I noticed I will need to buy a new encapsulated bolt but what about the other end? Could it be as easy as supporting the Final drive and removing the two bolts and installing new part with encapsulated bolts? Great video by the way. Makes me almost feel like I could do it. Thanks!

Nice workmanship! I did replace the front boot on my 07 GSA with the swing arm in place, but it was headache. Would it have been easier to do the boot repair in place? I was tempted to do the repair in place but I was up for maintenance and decided to just replace it at the at time.

Anyone know what size collet for the slide hammer was used?

Great job, thanks for sharing. Just a question though that came to me by watching your video. Since I'm about to replace mine, and I've already purchased the new gaitor, do you think it is a good idea that I apply some of this silicone on the new gaitor, outside and inside so I kinda make it more durable ? Needless to say that I will repair the old one and keep it for spare.

@FrogsAngelsLondon

4 жыл бұрын

Cheers buddy. If you are getting a new one then don't bother with the silicone paste. I had very small cracks on mine and they were not deep enough to replace the gaitor. A new one will last you a good few years. This flexible silicone compound is holding well on mine. If it deteriorates over time then I will replace it obviously Time will tell but so far so good. Hope it helps with the maintenance of your bike. 👍

The idea is good if you are in Cuba or in the middle of the Paris-Dakar Rally and you don't have spare parts, but we are in Europe; the continent of sin, excesses and waste. How much can a rubber of these cost, even if it is not original from the brand? How much do you think you will have to do that again?

more emissions have been emitted and more waste produced by making all of those products that you used to repair it. Replacing it with new injection moulded rubber piece would be a far more eco friendly solution if that was your main concern.
