@@Moonfleet41 I'm pleased to let you know that they came out no problem with the manual impact driver. I did things a little differently than you did on your old Bandit, like putting the sprocket cover on the bench, supported by scrap lumber. After cleaning everything up I let it soak up some penetrating fluid overnight. The #3 Phillips bit from the impact driver kit was a perfect fit (I don't think those are JIS screws) and a couple of light taps with a 2-lb dead-blow mallet and they backed right out. I agree that it's a bad design. If you are going to put blind-hole bolts inside a cover, why make them Phillips head when everything else is 5mm socket head? I have socket head replacements ready - those originals are not going back in. I have taken lots of stills in the hopes of making an instructional video. If you would like to see it, please let me know.

Whatever works buddy, those tiny veins in the matrix are so fragile, just about anything will bend them over... doesn't hurt to take them off once a year and rinse it from the back and it gives you a chance to flush them right out...!

The man.

Just bought a Hayabusa 1st Gen that's been standing around in a dry garage for 11 years. On the way back from the MOT the clutch started to slip, and I noticed the bite point of the clutch was almost at the very extent of the levers outward travel. It got the the point where the bike would not even pull 1 gear away from a junction. I release the hydraulic line and it was under pressure despite the lever being fully out. Clutch was fine after that. This fault came on within 5 miles or so.Never had that before! The bikes on standard levers, and the fluid looks clean, The previous owner did a slave cylinder mod to prevent crap getting into the piston area so not sure that's the problem. Any suggestions would be great.

Morning, Have done that job a few times. Yea that cylinder bore bit iffy but may hold out. Oh there used to be a rubber cap over the cylinder and the rod goes into that basically protection against all crud coming off the chain, wheres that rubber cap? Thats why the bore is in the condition its in. Thought youd open that drain plug above the clutch cylinder, quite a bit of oil/water crud from the engine gathers there. Onya Bro.

@Moonfleet41

Sure thing buddy, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a boot missing off that, so far I've found bolts missing, spacer sleeves in threads, not to mention two spolit links in the chain that were flared with a chisel, swear in another life this bike used to be a citrus fruit (a yellow one!)... have a good week mate!

Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.

Seeing that you mentioned the forks, I have a wee question. Most, if not all sports bikes have "upside down" forks, what's the benefit of that over the "right" way up?

@MattRiddell

5 жыл бұрын

From: bigbike-rider.com/upside-down-fork-vs-conventional-telescopic-fork-the-differences-pros/?lang=en The uprights of upside-down forks are arranged so that the inner tubes lie down and bear the axle of the front wheel. The fork bridges, where large lever forces act, thus lead to the more flexible, outer tubes with the larger diameter. Also, a larger clamping diameter in the fork bridge is thus made possible. Although the inner fork leg tubes are less stiff, because they are not required to be fixed firmly by the fork bridges due to the reverse installation, they can be guided as sliding tubes in sliding bearings spaced further from each other so that overall a higher stiffness of the fork leg is achieved. Furthermore, this design has lower unsprung masses, since the thin tubes show downwardly, which basically improves the wheel guidance. However, the overall weight of an upside-down fork is larger due to the construction and the steering angle is lower because of the thicker tubes. In addition, fork sealing are theoretically subject to more severe wear due to soiling. Telescopic forks are therefore slightly lighter, but they are less stiff and the sealing rings are better protected against dirt.

@anidiotinaracingcar4874

Yes it is "ended", if it has a chamfer one end, it matters... if you can't remember which way round it was, the best way to tell is the shiny spotlessly clean silver end has generally been inside the engine and if there's a dirty end, that will generally be the outside end... also if there is a line, or ridge, somewhere along it where it's exposed to the air, and that line isn't dead in the middle, then you can soon tell, because the length will determine which part when inside... that works me for buddy.

Strictly speaking a "crush washer" is a hollow ring washer like those used on Spark plugs.. once you tighten down on them they crush flat making a perfect seal... and no, they are more or less single use... but a regular solid copper washer, yes, if you anneal them you can use them again which is why i keep all mine that come off, and once i have a big heap of them i anneal them all at once and stick them in the draw to use again..

@Anywhere North of Nowhere Yeah, usually, and if they are 'nicked' or chewed up in any way, you can sand them flat by rubbing them on some fine wet'n'dry in a hard flat surface...

At 09:25 you put 2 copper crush washers on there, should you always put 2 instead of 1? Greetings from Sweden.

One copper washer either side of the banjo union, and im just fitting the banjo bolt finger loose by hand in readiness for fitting the brake hose later.. and the two copper washers are reserved there ready to use.! one single washer will go either side to seal it... !

Hi Clint, no overall plan... certainly not as long as the streetfighter, but a lot longer than the Harley which was a shade over 4 months... plan is to get all the cycle parts tidy and in order, then get stuck in to the creative side... as you can from the videos, I've had more to do with the replacement of parts and this has eaten in to my budget, so am having to pace it so I can complete the project! Thanks for watching buddy, much appreciated...
