Re: Motorcycle Valeting

Yeh. Can't remove parts though like I used to for Taylors but that starts getting labour intensive anyway. So just doing cleaning and waxing, dressing and also do a preservative service.

Re: Change the clocks to get an extra usable hour of dayligh

Put them an hour forward in the winter and leave the summer alone. Then we don't have to change the clocks and thows of us who work outside don't have to stop at 4pm during mid winter.

Re: Changing front break disks.

I always torque to be on the safe side. If you get any siezed bolts get something like a heat gun or even a hair dryer and warm up the wheel under the disc where the bolt treads in. The ally of the wheel expands quicker than the steel bolt thus breaking the seal. You could also try putting a punch i...

Re: tidying up your swing arm

Put up a pic and I'll probably be able to tell you which paint to use. I'll be able to tell you how to do it as well, without taking many/any bits off. It's easy enough to do and doesn't take too long.

All the best, Mike
