Sounds like a good excuse to buy a drillprelude91 wrote:Hi doggo, agreed on the 'zorsts, stick with known quantities. Pics of spkts would be appreciated. 'arm, buy an electric drill and use a wire brush attatchment, flapdiscs are even better, wire wool it if you have the time and patience, or Nitromors. Caliprs, easy stuff, just be methodical, disconnect brake lines before dismounting the calipers from the forks. You may need to use an airline to get the pistons out if they are seized, but you may want to check the brakes efficiency while still on the bike, from what you;ve said, they seem to still work O.K. but seals are easy to replace. Carbs, be optimistic, a good flush through with several products available on the market can be a quick fix, taking off carbs on an inline for is easy, getting them back on can be an absolute pig, so try easy fixes first. Look at the carb bowls, there should be a drain screw on the bottom of each on the outboard side of each carb bowl. Agreed, fix yours rather than buy another.
Are flapdiscs those things that look like a book of emery papers around a ring?
Cheers, man
