Also another update I dropped the oil out repalced with Semi Syn and replaced the filter, still have the same problem. Thank good it's not summer!!

Hi Peeb, Thanks for the reply, I will have a look this weekend. The slave operates perfectly, there's plenty of travel on the piston, the levers felt the best it has ever has on this bike; it's a bit of head scratcher. I'd never considered the Master could have been upset! I will let you know how I ...

So semi's the way to go then? I'm guessing with a slightly older bike full syn will cause an issue. Hmmm. WIll drop the oil out and replace the filter and see if that makes a rectifies it. Fingers crossed it does! Just wonder whats caused the upset when removing the slave cyinder (admittedly fairly ...

I have a feeling it may be Semi, I should upgrade that to Full, shouldn't I? IS that a fairly common issue?

Hey Stormers! It's a long time since I posted anything on here, its advice time again. Recently replaced my chain and sprockets due to wear. Replaced all the seals on the slave cylinder and the piston, and I have bled the system using a Multivac numerous time, but the boody thing keeps slipping when...

thanks for the replies guys! Yeah i know what you mean, wouldn't wear them on longer trips, but it is nice to know that if you do go down the road in them they hold up!

Ohhhhh image you heard about that haha

Thinking about getting some kevlar jeans for summer. Any one got any recommendations? A friend of mine had a pair of draggin jeans but he shrunk them in the wash.

Any good experience?

All sorted at the weekend! Bikes running fine. Thanks for your help!

I'll get there slowly! Will have a bash this weekend!

Thanks

I was changing to APE Manual CCTs from automatics, so there are installed. I obviously didn't gauge the tension on the front OEM tensioner when I installed the manuals. As I was unsure I took the front cylinder cover off and guides, the timing marks are a little out, but this is down to me being an ...

Thanks, no major rush.

Finally after many weekends of not being at home, I finally managed to get into the garage to have a tinker. After setting the front cylinder position to FT and removing the front cover (a tad tricky) it seems the two timing positions are out of line. See link. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/8...

I was confused, i realise it means top dead centre, my lack of grammer didn't help, sorry about that.

Spoke to AMCQ46 who's put me on the right track. I will def check that guide out.

Thanks

I'm turning the engine over manually Anti clockwise, the camchain seems slack and rises just above the teeth of the cams. Does that make any sense? By the way firing the TDC?

Hi im half way through putting some APE tensioners in using Sirch's Guide, installed them i'm turning over the engine manually to check that it turns freely, it seems stiff and the cam chain seems to be rising up, are the tensioners too tight or too slack. I'm a tad worried Im going to knacker my ti...
